Summary

This article discusses the melting of titanium by conventional vacuum arc consumable electrode methods and also by more advanced methods such as non-consumable, electron beam, plasma arc, electroslag, and induction slag methods. The procedures used to produce high quality ingots are presented and suggestions are offered on how melting defects and other problems may be avoided. A discussion on effective means for recycling scrap is also included.
