Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9920804A1] It has been discovered that electroslag remelting of titanium metal or alloys under controlled partial pressures of nitrogen, and somewhat oxygen, can dissolve nitrogen-rich inclusions to help eliminate or reduce initiation sites for cracks. The process for the electroslag remelting of titanium and titanium alloys ensures that nitrogen-rich inclusions are dissolved or at least minimized during the melting process.
