The structure and mechanical properties of an ultrahigh-carbon steel modified with amorphous ferrosilicon with a low melting point are studied. The methods of x-ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy are used to study the effect of the amorphous modifier on the structure of eutectic ledeburite in the cast steel. Tests for tensile strength and impact toughness are conducted. It is shown that the mechanical properties increase as a result of the modification without subsequent heat treatment.
