ESR Slags

Keywords viscosity estimation model CaE2-(CaO)-Al203 ESR slags. 

Electroslag Also called ESR. A general term for any electrolytic metal extraction process in which the metal is produced in the molten state beneath a layer of molten slag. Used mainly for ferrous alloys. 

In traditional scheme of ESR the flows of melt are formed in the slag pool, which are directed from a consumable electrode, along its axis downward to the metal pool [3], These flows of overheated slag promote the...

A state-of-the-art production routine is P-ESR melting (pressurised electro slag remelting) which will be covered within the following section. Austenitic steels as well as martensitic steels can be manufactured and are suitable for forging and hot rolling. Some basic knowledge about the material characteristics is mandatory to avoid any potential issues at plastic deformation, heat treatment and to maintain the excellent corrosion resistance.
