This paper presents a review of the international literature on the most recent developments in thick section surfacing by electroslag surfacing (ESS) using strip or wire electrodes. The advantages of this newly-developed technique from Japan are explained comparison with the conventional surfacing processes, such as submerged arc surfacing (SAS).
