Alloys that are commonly melted using VIM include aluminum, magnesium, copper, and nickel alloys. Arc melting uses an electrical arc between an inert electrode and a metal charge in an air-evacuated, ...

Arc melting furnace can melt metals and alloys at over 3000°C with the aid of the electric arc between the non-consumable tungsten electrode and the copper crucible. Therefore, the arc furnace is a ...

In a recent paper published in National Science Review, a jointed team of scholars from China and UK has made significant ...
