Abstract:
A melting vessel for performing an electro-slag melting method and such a method are presented. Measuring devices measuring a temperature at different heights allow conclusions about position and height of a slag zone in the melting vessel during the method.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for electro-slag remelting of metals or metal alloys in a melting vessel having at least one inner wall and a melting chamber bounded by the inner wall so that there is a boundary surface between the inner wall and the melting chamber,\n wherein the melting vessel has measuring devices for measuring the temperature and the measuring devices are arranged in at least two measuring groups, wherein the measuring devices within a measuring group each have substantially a same distance to the boundary surface between the inner wall and the melting chamber, the distance to the boundary surface between the inner wall and the melting chamber differs between the measuring devices of different measuring groups, and measuring devices within the same measuring group are arranged at different heights, comprising the steps: A. providing in the melting vessel at least one electrode of the metal or metal alloy to be melted, B. providing slag in the melting vessel, C. melting the electrode so that the molten metal or metal alloy passes through a slag zone and solidifies into an ingot, wherein a heat balance is established, continuously, by the information obtained via the measuring devices.
