The Influence of Smelting Process on the Quality of XX Fe Based Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

XX Fe based alloy was the raw material to make amorphous strip by means of vacuum induction melting (VIM) which cost too much. To reduce the cost, an air induction melting (AIM) method was studied in this paper. In smelting process of the experiments, two kinds of crucible and different slag were used to prepare different samples. The inclusions in the samples were studied by using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis (ESA).The results showed that, by using alkaline crucible and appropriate slag, inclusions in the XX Fe based alloy can be controlled in a relatively low range.
