electroslag welding

[i′lekṁtrō‚slag ′weldṁiŋ]
(metallurgy)
A welding process in which consumable electrodes are fed into a joint containing flux; the current melts the flux, and the flux in turn melts the faces of the joint and the electrodes, allowing the weld metal to form a continuously cast ingot between the joint faces.

electroslag welding

A welding process in which the two surfaces to be welded are fused together by use of an electrically liquefied molten slag which melts both the filler metal and the two surfaces.

At the first stages, when electroslag remelting (ESR) was only began to be developed on the basis of the electroslag welding, and melting of ingots was realized using an electrode wire, the simple water-cooled vessels of a round section, as a rule, were used as moulds for the producing ingots [1].
