The present invention relates to a method of and a device for effecting electroslag remelting processes. While effecting an electroslag remelting process by the proposed method an electrode is dipped into a slag bath. Electric current is passed through the electrode and slag bath, heating the slag to a melting point of said electrode. Upon establishing the molten slag bath and a metal pool said electrode is shielded by lowering on the surface of the molten slag bath a disc with an opening for the passage of said electrode so that the disc will float in the slag without coming in contact with the metal pool. A device for effecting electroslag remelting processes, comprising a baseplate mounting a means for effecting an electro slag remelting process accommodating a slag bath and an electrode that is dipped thereinto and is encompassed with a protective shield made as a disc of material whose specific density is lower than that of the slag of said slag bath. The disc is arranged directly on the surface of the slag bath, overlapping essentially all its surface area.

Device for effecting electroslag remelting processes

A plant for electroslag remelting of metals and alloys, comprising a cooled mould mounted on a cooled base plate where a slag bath is arranged. Introduced into said slag bath is one end of a consumable electrode, its other end being connected to one of the poles of a current supply source. The plant has at least one non-consumable electrode that is connected to the other pole of the current supply source in series with the consumable electrode. A method of electroslag remelting of metals and alloys in which an electric current is passed through the consumable electrode the slag bath and the non-consumable electrode during the remelting process.
