ESR — The Process G A B H I F D A B C D E F G H I Molten Pool Molten Slag Water Guide Water Cooling Baseplate Clamped Electrode Crucible Ingot The ESR process involves the gradual melting of the lower end of a cast or forged electrode through a layer of molten metallurgically active slag into a water-cooled copper mold. The slag is usually calcium fluoride with the addition of lime, magnesia, and other oxides. Consarc pioneered in Automatic Melt Controls in the early 1970’s. At that time, before personal computers, melt rate was maintained using programmable calculators while operators...

Proprietary High Current AC power supply (Reactor Based) Consarc is the only ESR furnace supplier that designs and builds our own custom designed AC power supplies. These units are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the ESR melting application. This provides Consarc ESR customers with a single source responsibility for the complete ESR and power transmission system. 20,000 amps Consarc offers only Saturable Core Reactor based power supply technology for use in our ESR furnace systems. All systems are internally water cooled by a dedicated, dual pump, closed loop,...

Electroslag Remelting Furnaces Inert Gas Melting A new trend is emerging in ESR melting that involves melting of Oxygen and Nitrogen sensitive alloys under an inert gas enclosure. The major benefits of the inert gas melting system, besides very low oxygen and nitrogen levels, are as follows: Some Features of the Modern Consarc ESR Furnace are: • Fully coaxial • Precision electrode drive • Fully automated melt control • X-Y electrode centering • Inert gas melting capable • Dry air melting capable • Slab ingot capable 900 mm Inert Gas Furnace For inert gas melting the crucible top is sealed...
