Abstract
The various current paths possible in an electroslag unit are proposed and compared with operational results measured on a dc unit. The current found to pass through the mold walls under “mold-isolated” circuitry is small (less than 0.05 × the operating current). The metallurgical consequences of the possible operating modes are outlined and demonstrated.
