Industrial experiments with three types of slags were performed to investigate the effect of slag on oxide inclusions during electroslag remelting (ESR) process. G20CrNi2Mo bearing steel was used as the consumable electrode and remelted using a 2400-kg industrial furnace. The results showed that mos...
