Abstract
New techniques, as well as equipment and fixtures are described, which are used to prevent defect formation in welds made by electroslag welding. To achieve a sound weld formation, a device signaling the surface-melting of the edges being welded is used at the start of the welding process, this ensuring transition from the stage of inducing a slag pool to the welding process proper. A device controlling the metal pool level is used to eliminate the shrinkage cavity, thus providing a sound weld formation at the final stage.
