EXPERIMENTS ON MELTING TITANIUM IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT THORIA CRUCIBLES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4173957
Samples of titanium were heated in crucibles composed of ThO/sub 1.5/ at 1550 to 1770 deg C. After cooling, metallographic examination and hardness measurements were made and oxygen was determined. Titanium was melted in a commercial ThO/sub 2/ pot for comparison. A higher hardness, with more oxygen in solid solution resulted from melting in commercial thoria. Limitations of the ThO/sub 1.5/ material is discussed and it was concluded that it is unsatisfactory for use as a crucible. (J.R.D.)
