Electroslag metallurgy plays an important role in the field of high-quality special alloys and the materials used for high-end equipment manufacturing such as rotor steel, bearing steel, die steel, and superalloy. Moreover, electroslag metallurgy technology has been extended to the field of resource recovery. The equipment and processing characteristics of electroslag metallurgy have important influence on its product quality. In recent years, a series of new technologies in the family of electroslag metallurgy have been developed such as electroslag continuous casting, current-conductive mold technology, electroslag casting with liquid metal, and pressurized/protective atmosphere electroslag remelting. Meanwhile, a large number of excellent achievements have been produced in the electroslag fields such as slag optimization, alloying element control, solidification structure regulation, and numerical simulation. Increasing attentions from smelters and researchers have been obviously paid to electroslag metallurgy.
In this trend, Journal of Iron and Steel Research International plans to organize a special issue on "electroslag metallurgy" in 2021 (regular issue). Associate Professor Wan-ming Li from University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Associate Professor Qiang Wang from Wuhan University of Science and Technology, and Associate Professor Cheng-bin Shi from University of Science and Technology Beijing are invited to serve as guest editors for this special issue.
Topics addressed in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
(1) New technologies and applications of electroslag metallurgy.
(2) Slag for electroslag metallurgy.
(3) Thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions during electroslag metallurgy.
(4) Electroslag metallurgy modeling.
(5) Cleanliness and non-metallic inclusions in electroslag metallurgy.
(6) Microstructure control of electroslag products.
(7) Other aspects of quality control of electroslag products.
