Abstract: An electro-slag remelting installation includes a mold and a consumable electrode that extends into the mold. The consumable electrode has an axis that is oriented obliquely to a vertical axis.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method performable with the apparatus for sequential melting and refining of materials are proposed. The materials treated in the process are converted to a liquid state of matter by heat sources. The process is particularly suitable for treating metals, semimetals and ceramics, for example in order to produce alloys and/or to refine the materials. During the method, the material goes through various treatment chambers which enable treatment at different pressure levels.

Abstract: A method and a device for remelting metal in an electric furnace includes forming a slag bath to form molten material electrodes. The molten metal of the material electrodes solidifies in block form in a crucible apparatus as a result of cooling in such a way that a block growth forms from a block base using a progressing solidification process, wherein the block base is heated by applying energy directly to the block base to influence the cooling process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a furnace and a method for electroslag remelting, wherein the furnace (37) comprises a base frame (38), wherein the base frame comprises supports (39) which bear a furnace head (41), wherein at the furnace head, an electrode can be disposed, wherein the electrode can be melted on in a crucible disposed below the furnace head, wherein the furnace comprises a transformer (42) which can supply electric power for melting on the electrode, wherein the transformer is fixedly disposed at the transformer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for remelting metal in an electric furnace, wherein material electrodes are melted on by forming a slag bath, and the melted-on metal of the material electrodes solidifies in block form in a crucible apparatus (10) as a result of cooling in such a way that a block growth forms from a block base by means of a progressing solidification process, wherein the block base is heated to influence the cooling process, wherein the block base is heated by applying energy directly to the block base.

Abstract: In an electroslag remelting point with a mold (4) for forming an ingot from the remelted material of at least one consumable electrode (33), with a body (6) having at least one vertically driven electrode rod (15) for advancing a respective consumable electrode (33), and with a hood (19) which is disposed above the mold (4) and has at least one opening (18) which is concentric with the respective electrode axis (A), a pot-shaped boiler (20) is provided which accommodates the mould (4) and can be joined to the hood (19) to form a chamber (34) which is closed all round, completely encompasses the mould (4, 28) and can be connected via pipelines (22, 23) to a vacuum pump and/or a gas source, so that the chamber (34) can be evacuated or filled with an inert gas.
