Objective The project objective is the development of a numerical modelling tool as industry-oriented software for the advanced protective gas electroslag remelting (PESR) process. It covers all of the critical aspects of the PESR process such as: multi-phase/component phenomena in the slag zone; heat/mass transfer and convection during remelting and ingot solidification; Lorentz forces and ohmic heating; reduction of inclusions; prediction/optimisation of ingot microstructure etc.The suggested integrative simulation approach will definitely diminish the extremely costly trial and error practice and thus enable the European steel industry to improve product quality, optimise operation parameters, and save energy and resources.
