Abstract

Single power two circuits electroslag remelting process with current carrying mould (ESR-STCCM) has been developed to remelt high alloy. In the present work, the laboratory experiments, physical simulations and numerical simulations were set up to systematically investigate the droplet size and cleanliness of the remelted ingot for ESR withdrawing process (ESRW) and ESR-STCCM. The results indicated that ESR-STCCM can change the distribution of electromagnetic force, thereby reducing the droplet size in the case of the same remelting power. ASPEX explorer was utilized to investigate the non-metallic inclusions of the remelted ingot for different remelting processes, and the result indicated that the types of the non-metallic inclusions for the different remelting processes were not changed, however, the number decreased by 42.3% for ESR-STCCM. Compared with the ESRW, the deoxidation ability of ESR-STCCM increased by 10.7% meanwhile, the desulfurization ability increased by 24.5%.
