Abstract

The 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.
