What Does ESR Stand For?
ESR stands for Electroslag Refining
Electroslag Refining (ESR) is a metallurgical process used to purify and refine metals, particularly steel and alloys, by melting them in a molten slag pool. This technique improves the chemical and mechanical properties of the material, resulting in reduced impurity levels and enhanced structural integrity. The process typically involves the use of an electric arc to produce high temperatures that facilitate melting, followed by controlled cooling to achieve desired material characteristics. ESR is commonly employed in the production of high-performance components for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and power generation.
