German term or phrase: offenen Erschmelzung
Definition und Herstellung von Hochleistungswerkstoffen

Nickellegierungen sind Werkstoffe, die wenigstens 30 Prozent Nickel beinhalten. Kombiniert man diese Legierungen mit anderen metallischen oder auch nichtmetallischen Stoffen, erhält man Produkte, die recht unterschiedliche Eigenschaften aufweisen können. Zum Beispiel eine verbesserte Beständigkeit gegen Hochtemperaturen oder gegen Korrosion. Möglich sind aber auch Eigenschaften wie elektrischer Widerstand und im Besonderen magnetische Charakteristika. Hochleistungswerkstoffe werden neben der ***offenen Erschmelzung*** (gewöhnliche Technologie) zum Beispiel in einem Vakuuminduktionsschmelzofen produziert.

melting in a reverberatory furnace / open-hearth melting


Explanation:
The term "open-hearth melting" is used in steelmaking (e.g. https://www.britannica.com/technology/open-hearth-process), and obviously contrasts with VIM as the metals are melted in an atmosphere with other gases and not under vacuum.

However, I can't seem to find many references to "open-hearth melting" of nickel alloys, possibly due to the prevalence of the process in steelmaking, but it also appears that the term "reverberatory furnace melting" is preferred in the non-ferrous metals sector to refer to the same process (https://www.britannica.com/technology/reverberatory-furnace)... Perhaps because "open-hearth" sounds a bit old fashioned and modern non-ferrous are a bit more high tech.

Although "open-hearth" processes could be taken to include a wider range of methods, and "reverberatory furnace" is a bit more specific, I would probably still go with "melting in a reverberatory furnace" here, as it seems to cover the relevant detail, and is the more commonly used term in the field.

CORROSION RESISTANT NICKEL-CHROMIUM-IRON ALLOY
United States Patent 3607243
... The alloy may satisfactorily be prepared by conventional airmelting techniques using standard melting furnaces including the induction furnace. Use of the more expensive vacuum melting procedure is unnecessary.

https://www.deangroup-int.co.uk/vacuum-cast-alloys/
Vacuum cast alloys are created through vacuum induction melting, which was initially developed as a method to refine alloys like nickel and cobalt – but is now more widely used as these materials have become more common. Vacuum cast alloys still tend to be nickel and cobalt-based, but have other elements within their chemistry that are not conducive to being manufactured via a conventional air melting process.
