Elimination of Low-Density Inclusions in Titanium Alloy Ingots

Abstract

The problem of alpha-stabilized defects in ingots and billets of titanium and its alloys was investigated. Possible origins were considered, several naturally-occurring defects were studied, and contamination by nitrides was selected as a cause needing further investigation. Nitride defects were synthesized in ingots, their nature and behavior during melting, casting, and subsequent rolling were explored, and elimination of the artificial defects was attempted by means of melting-process variations.
