Symposium on Electro Slag and Other Special Refining Processes Held at Bombay on 31st August 1979

摘要

New and special refining processes have been invented and developed from time to time to meet the ever increasing demand for improved quality of metals and alloys. These include the consumable electrode remelting processes including electroslag remelting, vacuum and other ladle refining processes, powder injection, zone refining, electrotransport refining etc. Apart from their use in the production of highly sophisticated materials used in aerospace, nuclear and other specialized industries, many of these processes have also found wider application in the economic production of more common metals and alloys. Special mention may be made of the electroslag refining process, a highly specialized refining-cum-casting process, which produces metal of a very high quality at high yield. These proceedings contain eight papers on electroslag refining and five on other special refining processes.
