1. Electroslag smelting of copper ingots and alloys for plastic deformation and material of construction. This provides lowering of content of gases, non-metallic inclusions, sulpher, even micro and macrostructures, freedom from segregation and defect casting shrinkage, excellent ingot surface nonrequiring additional machining. This technology is realized on a simple, low-cost and non- deficit equipment.

2. The electroslag process of copper waste and alloys with the recovery of billets and shaped castings. This provides utilization of lump material with minimum melting losses, when the light-weight wastes treated. Metal is protected from the oxidation, when the waste is input through the melted slag into the smelting furnace. Waste isn’t needed the refining from non-metallic materials (insulation, varnish, paper, glass cloth, et). They are absorbed by the slag. The metal casting inassociation with slag provides obtaining of noncasting shrinkages with clear surface and favorable micro and macrostructures.

3. Electroslag technology can result very effecting, when the precious metals are made and refined. We developed electroslag remelting metals with hign-melting point in the chamber furnaces in controlled atmosphere and with highactived fluses.

4. Copper alloys are alloyed ( Cr, Ca, Be, B, Co, etc) with their non-metallic compounds direct in metallic bath. This ensure assimilation increase of alloy components and even their distribution in metal and reduce of cost.

5. We worked out and suggested the materials which expanded while heating for effective protect of liquid metal surface from the oxidation and the heat loss. The liquid metal stores the light-oxidation components: zinc, beryllium, aluminum, etc.

6. Technology provides that copper alloys are modified and microalloyed with rare-earth metals, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, borom, etc. by means of special slag compounds in the electroslag remelting and ordinary smelting.

7. We suggest an experience in the research of refining and degazation of copper and its alloys, which will be used.

We are ready to give detailed information about any of the above listed developments. We can conduct the experiments, if you want, on our equipment in laboratories of Donetsk State Technical University (Donetsk, Ukraine).
