Effect of non-uniform carbon distribution in electrode on carbon segregation during electroslag remelting of W9Cr4V2Mo steel

Key Points

• Carbon segregation is influenced by the non-uniform distribution of carbon within the electrode, leading to varying material properties.
• The analysis employs electroslag remelting techniques to explore thermal gradients and their effects on carbon behavior during processing.
• Observations reveal that non-uniform carbon distribution results in distinct patterns of segregation in the final steel product.
• The findings highlight the need for precise control of carbon distribution to optimize steel quality in manufacturing processes.
