Electroslag remelting apparatus for producing ingots

摘要

An electroslag remelting apparatus for producing ingots includes a mould and an electrode feeding device comprising a lower holder with a roller feeding means and an upper holder in the form of a rotatable drum with a vertical shaft. The drum has through sockets to accommodate electrode blanks and gates to support the blanks. The electrode feeding device comprises also a means for joining together the consumable electrode and the electrode blank brought into abutting contact with the aid of said holders, which ensures continuous feed of the electrode into the mould cavity.
