Molten slag is introduced through the lower portion of a crucible device into the bottom of the remelting zone in an electroslag remelting process using single or plural consumable electrodes in an amount sufficient to achieve a predetermined depth in the remelting zone. The achievement of the predetermined depth is signalled when current flows as a result of the slag level contacting and closing a circuit through an energized electrode disposed in the remelting zone. The crucible has a bottom plate at its lower end, the bottom plate has a recess in its top side and a piece of metal is inserted in the recess to provide electrical contact between the piece of metal and the bottom plate the piece of metal in the recess in the bottom plate is connected by a center tap line to an electric current source which passes through the electrode(s), the slag and the piece of metal during initial remelting.
