Steels with ESR Technology (Premium Steels)
ESR technology, known as Electroslag Remelting-Electroconductive Slag Remelting, is an advanced process used in refining. This method improves the mechanical properties of steels, making it a popular choice in tool manufacturing in different industries.
What is ESR Technology?
Remelting under Electroconductive Slag is a highly specialized metallurgical process used to produce high quality steel. In this process, steel is melted in a special furnace and electroconductive slag is added, which acts as a refining agent. Electroconductive slag helps remove impurities and improve steel properties, such as strength and ductility.
During remelting, the temperature and chemical composition of the steel are carefully controlled to ensure that it meets the required specifications. In addition, alloys or other elements can be added to adjust the properties of the steel according to the customer's needs.
Advantages of the ESR Process
- Minimum segregation level
- Optimal ingot structure
- Minimum sulfur content
- Minimum content of non-metallic inclusions (increased toughness)
- Uniform microstructure distribution
- Isotropic mechanical properties.
- Increased tenacity
- Increase in ductility.
Applications of ESR Technology
- Die casting molds.
- Hot forging tools.
- Hot stamping tools.
- Cold work tools
