The application of electroslag melting (ESM) makes it possible to obtain high quality castings. In the power engineering industry, the ESM method is used to manufacture blanks for the control valves of atomic electric power plants which were formerly made by forging. Valve body blanks made from sand steel castings are cheaper than blanks obtained by ESM, but of inferior quality.
