Vacuum arc remelting: an overview. [U-6% Nb]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5415947
;
Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a casting process for producing uniform ingots. This paper discusses: arc physics and behavior, metal transfer and electrode gap measurement, boundary conditions on crucible wall, and pool dynamics and macrosegregation. Materials discussed are Inconel 718 and U-6% Nb alloy. 47 refs., 20 figs. (DLC)
