The Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine has conducted a study of the effect of technological factors on the hydrogen content
of chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel after vacuum degassing. It was established that the most important factor is the hydrogen
content of the steel before the degassing operation. The study also determined the effects of the circulation coefficient,
the duration of the degassing operation, and the vacuum used in the treatment.
