In the past 20 years, there were some developments of vacuum metallurgy and, at each time, every special metallurgical process was to meet the demand of customers for better quality and its improved mechanical property.
Studies have been made in this paper as to the most current development in this field, i. e., Electro-Slag Remelting process, as one of the special metallurgical processes following up the trend of vacuum metallurgy.
ESR process has spread rapidly all over the world recently but it is still under development and one can not state with an absolute certainty what reasons could lead to the large scale technical application of this process without exact knowledge of the individual application.
Several important technical and economical reasons for applying this process should be known in the steel industry so that one can understand its advantage without any arbitrary decision.
