Selected numerical investigations on ESR process

Electroslag remelting (ESR) and protective gas electroslag remelting (PESR) are standard processes for the production of high quality tool steels. A consortium consisting of an university department (LEOBEN), an independent software vendor (ESI Group), a plant producer (ALD), a research centre (CSM) and a steel producer (Böhler Edelstahl GmbH) was founded with the objective to generate a computational tool to model the PESR-process.
