Investigating arc behavior in a DC vacuum arc remelting furnace using magnetic flux density measurements

Creator:

Woodside, Rigel

Abstract:

The behavior of a metal vapor plasma arc in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace is believed to contribute to the formation of defects in reactive metal and super-alloy ingots. Industry standard instrumentation, which includes electric current and voltage measurements, can asses the stability of an arc but cannot predict...
