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. |

airmelting, air melting Explanation: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3607243.html 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. |
