Determining the temperature field and the melting rate of an electrode in the multiphase system of the electric-slag melting process

The problem of melting metals by the electric-slag method is formulated mathematically and some numerical results are shown. The parameters which need to be determined include the rate of electrode melting as well as the melting and crystallization isotherms of the electrode and the ingot.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 20, No. 1, pp. 87–95, January, 1971.
