Abstract
Electroslag casting methods and apparatus continuously deposit metal on to the surface of an elongate metal article such as a steel mill roll, supported with its axis substantially vertical with respect to an open ended mould positioned around the surface of the article. A vertically movable platform is adapted to encompass the articles, and carries one or more feed devices for feeding, in the form of a consumable electrode, the metal which is to be deposited onto the surface of the article into the space defined between the sides of the mould and the article. The platform can be driven vertically and means are provided for coupling the mould to the platform after a predetermined vertical movement of the platform.
