The increasing demand for producing high-quality steel has led to the stringent control of steel cleanliness, including oxygen content and inclusions, which has been attracting great attention in recent years.1–3) Non-metallic inclusions in steel are often the initiation source of fatigue crack which seriously affect the service life of steel, particularly the existence of large-sized inclusions are extremely detrimental to fatigue life and service performance despite their limited numbers.4–6) Electroslag remelting (ESR) is one of the most important and effective ways to control the cleanliness and solidification structure of steel.7,8) ESR process is caused by means of an alternating current (AC) or a direct current (DC) which flows through the highresistivity slag pool from the electrode to the ingot, thus generating Joule heating in the electrode and slag. The Joule heating at the electrode periphery is significantly greater than that in the center, owing to the higher current density concentrated at the electrode periphery induced by the skin effect;9,10) in addition, the maximum of Joule heating is at the electrode/slag interface region around the electrode tip, Effect of Operating Conditions on Inclusion of Die Steel during Electroslag Remelting
