Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3995227A1] The objective of the present invention is to improve non-defective product yield by reducing shrinkage cavities inside small-diameter ingots, in a method for casting active metals. In this Ti-Al based alloy casting method for casting an ingot of Ti-Al based alloy by tapping molten metal from a tapping hole (5) provided in a bottom portion of a water-cooled copper crucible (2), in an induction melting furnace (3) employing said crucible (2), into a casting mold (4), the degree of vacuum inside the induction melting furnace (3) when the Ti-Al based alloy is being melted or cast is in a range of 80 to 700 Torr, and the Al concentration in the cast ingot is within ±1.0 mass% of a target value.
