Enhancement of removing inclusions from liquid melt film during the ESR process assisted by a static magnetic field

Magnetic-controlled Electroslag Remelting (MC-ESR) process has been proposed to improve the inclusion removal efficiency in recent years. In this study, the effects of transverse static magnetic field (TSMF) on liquid melting film (LMF) and inclusion removal during this period in ESR process of GCr15 steel were studied by a series of MC-ESR experiments. The thickness of the characteristic position of LMF was reduced by 27.2%∼80.5% due to the...
