Abstract The vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process has been developed to melt and cast high quality aerospace materials such as titanium alloys. VAR comprises the continuous remelting of a consumable electrode by means of a dc arc under vacuum or a low partial pressure of argon. The molten metal solidifies in a water-cooled copper crucible leading to high cooling rates that often results in large thermal stresses. The development of temperature gradients and the resulting thermal stresses during the VAR processes was investigated using an elasto-plastic material model with temperature dependent thermomechanical properties. Detailed solutions were obtained by using the commercial finite element code ABAQUS.

Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is an industrial metallurgical process widely used throughout the specialty metals industry to cast large alloy ingots. The final ingot grain structure is strongly influenced by the molten metal pool profile, which in turn depends on the temperature distribution in the ingot. A reduced-order model of the solidifying ingot was developed specifically for dynamic control and estimation of the depth of molten liquid pool atop the ingot in a VAR process. This model accounts only for the thermal aspects of the system ignoring other physical domains such as fluid flow and electromagnetic effects. Spectral methods were used to obtain a set of nonlinear dynamic equations which capture the transient characteristics of liquid pool profile variations around a quasi-steady operating condition. These nonlinear equations are then linearized and further simplified by suppressing fast modes. The resulting system was used to construct a linear-quadratic-gaussian (LQG) controller which was tested in a laboratory-scale furnace showing a good performance. A high-fidelity physics-based model is used in real-time to provide information about the solidifying ingot and potential solidification defects.
