Abstract
834,627. Casting-processes. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. March 31, 1958, No. 10215/58. Class 83 (1). A method of casting metal such as titanium, comprises supporting a block 2 of the metal over a mould 6, striking an arc between the block and an electrode 5 positioned above the block, and melting through the block so that the metal drops down into the mould, thus extinguishing the arc. The block may be cut from a bar, or be sintered, or consist of compressed scrap or a stack of plates. The negative electrode may be of tungsten or graphite or may be consumable. The graphite-mould 6 stands on a water-cooled metal plate 7 in an evacuated container 1, which may contain an inert atmosphere. The cavity left in the block after casting may be closed by a plate or by scrap, and a further casting operation performed. A cavity may be initially formed in the block by machining or forging. A number of blocks and moulds may be mounted on a turntable in a sealed chamber, and indexed beneath the electrode. A mould may be topped up by striking an arc between the side of the cavity and the electrode and casting additional metal into the mould.
