Quantification of the heat transfer during the plasma arc remelting of titanium alloys

Plasma-arc cold hearth melting (PAM) is an important technology used in the melting process for titanium alloys. Compared to the more common, electron beam cold hearth re-melting process, PAM allows an inert gas environment which significantly reduces the evaporation rate of alloying elements. To de...
