The system described herein relates to working a metal casting strand that is round in cross-section, by reducing the cross-section in the final solidification region with the aid of at least three forming tools which are distributed around the circumference and act simultaneously on the casting strand. In order to provide advantageous working conditions, the casting strand is formed by forging tools constituting the forming tools in a longitudinal portion for each forming stroke, which portion corresponds to at least a fourth of the strand diameter before the reduction in cross-section. The forging tools are rotated by an angle step about the axis of the casting strand 1 between the forming strokes.

The present disclosure is directed to systems, compositions, and methods for manufacturing objects with sharp edges having a high strength and hardness. To form the sharp edge, an object can be subjected to a compressive force that locally deforms the object to create the sharp edge. In some embodiments, deformation can occur by passing the material through a system of one or more opposed tapered rolls having one or more tapering angles for deforming the material. The tapered rolls can rotate and drive the material downstream to a next opposed pair of tapered rolls. The tapered rolls deform the material by changing the material microstructure, compressing the grains of the material in a predetermined location to create a more homogeneous microstructure. The local modification of the resulting microstructure increases the homogeneity as well as the hardness and strength of the material and prevents cracking and/or chipping of the material.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing high-chromium (Cr) molten steel having a chromium (Cr) content of 4.5 wt % to 5.5 wt %, and the method may comprise the operations of: inserting molten steel into a steel converter used in the process of manufacturing stainless steel; and inputting chromium (Cr)-containing chromium steel alloy into the steel converter such that the content of chromium (Cr) in the molten steel reaches 4.5 wt % to 5.5 wt %. Therefore, according to the embodiments of the present invention, high-chromium (Cr) molten steel can be manufactured by using a steel converter that is used in the steelmaking process of other steel types, without contaminating same.
