Numerical simulation of the protective gas electro slag remelting process and its industrial validation

Electroslag Remelting (ESR) and Protective Gas Electroslag Remelting (PESR) are advanced processes for the production of high quality steels. A consortium consisting of a process engineering software editor and a quality steel manufacturer as well as a university division, a material science research center and a plant equipment supplier has been founded with the objective to generate a new physically based industry-oriented software package for numerical simulation of the PESR process with respect to process optimization.
