The electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is extensively used in the tool and die making industry for accurate machining of internal profiles in hardened materials. Although it is essentially a material removal process, efforts have been made in the recent past to use it as surface treatment method. This article investigates and compares the effect of material transfer from electrode bodies (copper, copper—chromium, and copper—tungsten) and tungsten powder suspended in the dielectric medium during die-sinking EDM of AISI H13 die steel. Results show a 76 per cent increase in micro-hardness by machining with a copper—tungsten electrode and a 111 per cent increase by machining with tungsten powder mixed in the dielectric. The copper—chromium electrode gives the best surface roughness (Ra) value of 2.67 μ m. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of the machined surfaces show alloying of parent material with tungsten and tungsten carbide. Chemical composition of the machined surfaces was further checked on an optical emission spectrometer to verify the results. Besides a significant presence of tungsten, an increase in the percentage of carbon is also observed.

The effect of RE on modifying inclusions of H13 die steel was studied by metallographic examination, SEM and electron spectroscopy. Thermodynamic calculation was used to analyze the formation of RE inclusions in H13 die steel. The result shows that sulfide inclusions are modified to round RE complex inclusions after adding RE to H13 die steel.

In this paper, by using the commercial finite-element software of ProCAST, unidirectional solidification processes in 23t steel ingot were simulated. Emphasis is placed on analysis of required time for complete solidification of steel ingot and temperature distribution about ingot and side wall during the solidification process. By comparing simulation values and measured values of side wall during the solidification process, the simulated results conclusively demonstrate that our developed model is feasible and valuable.

The average steepness of |dT/d(fs)1/2| on the T − (fs)1/2 curve were calculated during peritectic solidification, which was used to investigate the effect of alloying elements on surface longitudinal cracks of peritectic steels in the solidification process. The value of |dT/d(fs)1/2| indicates the liquid feeding capacity between interdendrites during solidification, where cracks can easily occur if there is poor capacity of liquid feeding, as in peritectic solidification shrinkage. The cracking tendency as a function of carbon content was well described by the |dT/d(fs)1/2| at the cooling rates of 0.5, 5, and 10 °C/s, and the influences of other solute elements on |dT/d(fs)1/2| were also calculated. The results indicate that the possibility of crack occurrence increased and the maximum average steepness |dT/d(fs)1/2| changed from 496.75 °C located near 0.09C wt.% to 622.14 °C near 0.11C wt.% with increasing cooling rate. The value of |dT/d(fs)1/2| on the T − (fs)1/2 curve during the peritectic solidification can be used to analyze the solidification crack for peritectic steels.
