Some Observations on the Arc Melting of Tungsten
Abstract
A semiempirical approach was employed with the aid of a statistical index of correlation to develop an adjusted melting-rate parameter which was linearly related to, and showed a high degree of correlation with, input power during melting. Melting data for tungsten-base materials ranging in composition from 92 to 100% tungsten were used in this analysis. The new parameter developed was a function of the five variables considered most important to the consumable-electrode arc melting process, i.e., input power, melting rate, electrode density, and the ingot and electrode diameters.
