Abstract This chapter discusses the processes, procedures, and equipment used in the production of iron, steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys. It describes the design and operation of melting and refining furnaces, including blast furnaces, basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces, vacuum induction melting furnaces, and electroslag and vacuum arc remelting furnaces. It also covers casting, rolling, and annealing procedures and describes the basic steps in aluminum and titanium production.

ABSTRACTThe melting of Fe3Al-based alloys at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and commercial vendors is described. The melting processes evaluated include arc melting, air-induction melting (AIM), vacuum-induction melting (VIM), vacuum-arc remelting (VAR), and electroslag remelting (ESR). The quality of the ingots studied are based on internal soundness and the surface finish obtained. The ingots were analyzed for impurity levels observed in the alloys by various melting processes. Recommendations are made for viable processes for commercial melting of these alloys.

AbstractThe shape memory alloy TiNi is produced by either Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) or by Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) of pure metal ingots for actuator applications. Powder metallurgy techniques provide an alternative fabrication route for their use in passive damping applications where porosity and deviations in chemical homogeneity can be tolerated. In this study TiNi compacts were cold pressed from the blended elemental powders and sintered in vacuum for varying times at temperatures from 800°C to 1000°C. Two heating rates were used, 5 K/min. and 10 K/min. A TiNi microstructure could be produced after annealing at 1000°C for 6 h., although some TiNi3 was still observed. Sintering above 900°C produced porous microstructures with green densities approaching 3.5 gm/cm3.
