Title Of Article :
Designing of An Arc Melting and Casting Furnace for Production of Metallic Glass and Composites
Abstract :
In this study, the development of a furnace with the capability of vacuum arc melting and casting is described. Melting process of the alloys with high melting temperatures can be achieved by this machine that involves controlled atmosphere and medium vacuum levels via electric arc. It was also aimed to produce metallic glasses with amorphous structure that needs rapid cooling processes. The design scaled for laboratory utilizes several methods applied for the production of metallic glass materials, such as drop casting, tilt casting, suction casting and piston-anvil casting methods. As a result, Cobalt-based bulk glassy alloys and composite structures coated with metallic glass were successfully produced and investigated the microstructural, mechanical and thermal properties of the alloys.
