Abstract

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 axial static magnetic field (ASMF) 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 18.6 to 90.3 pct when a 50 mT ASMF was applied. The number and size of the inclusions in LMF were also decreased. In addition, the mechanisms of LMF thinning and inclusion removal efficiency improvement enhanced by the ASMF were interpreted in detail. Furthermore, a numerical simulation of the inclusion migration in LMF was also carried out to support the proposed mechanisms to some extent.
