Is it possible to use chromium-vanadium steel (AISI 6150), commonly used for hand tools such as screwdrivers and sockets, for casting? So, for example, is it possible to melt an object made of this material and cast it into a different shape relatively easily? If not, is there an alloy comparable in material properties (i.e. highly abrasion resistant, very good shock resistance and toughness) that can be cast?
Thanks in advance, J
