[en] To satisfy requirements of industries such as conventional and nuclear power, for heavy gauge plate in large plate weights and to exceptionally high standards of quality and reliability, British Steel Corporation have commissioned a three phase Electroslag Refining (ESR) plant. This unit has a designed production capability of 8,000 tonnes per annum in finished plate weights up to 42 tonnes. An extensive property evaluation programme is being carried out on plates in the thickness range 50 to 150 mm produced from ESR slabs in the range 10 to 34 tonnes. Results obtained to date confirm the exceptionally high levels of cleanliness and isotropy associated with this process coupled with very high levels of through thickness ductility. These properties clearly have important implications for fabricators of heavy steel plate and it is intended that through joint evaluations of ESR material their full technical and commercial advantages will be realised.
