Development and application of a new freckle criterion for technical remelting processes

In technical solidification processes like Electro Slag (ESR) or Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR), freckles present a serious type of defects which limit the maximum ingot size for many grades of steels and superalloys. Therefore, modelling of freckle formation is an important task for optimizing industr...
