PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method where, in a technique of melting a titanium ingot by electron beam melting with titanium scrap as a melting raw material, titanium scrap with variation in feeding quantity and dimensions can be stably utilized as a melting raw material, and a titanium ingot having excellent quality can be stably melted at a high yield. SOLUTION: The electron beam melting device for metal titanium includes: a raw material feeding means; an electron beam emission means; a hearth holding a molten metal obtained by melting the fed metallic raw material; and a mold cooling a molten metal so as to obtain an ingot, wherein the raw material feeding means is composed of a lumpy raw material feeding means and a granular raw material feeding means. Further, in the electron beam melting method for a metal using the electron beam melting device, the lumpy raw material and the granular raw material are simultaneously fed to the hearth.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a titanium ingot using a vacuum arc melting furnace by which a titanium ingot having high purity, good casting surface and high productivity is produced. SOLUTION: The method for producing the titanium ingot uses the vacuum arc melting furnace which generates an arc between molten metal held in a mold and a consumable electrode to melt the consumable electrode, thereby forming the ingot in the mold. The method is characterized in that an arc gap (a distance from the lower end of the consumable electrode to the molten metal surface) is changed according to kinds of titanium to be melted. When the ingot to be produced is titanium alloy, melting is performed with a smaller arc gap than an average arc gap (the arithmetic average of the maximum arc gap value and the minimum arc gap value in a range where the vacuum arc melting can be performed), and when the ingot to be produced is pure titanium, the melting is performed with a larger arc gap than the average arc gap.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an alloy ingot with which in the method for producing the alloy ingot by using a consumable electrode-type vacuum arc-melting furnace, the yield of the alloy raw material used to the production of the alloy ingot is not lowered and the variation of composition in the produced alloy ingot is little. SOLUTION: In the method for producing the alloy ingot by using the consumable electrode-type vacuum arc-melting furnace; this method for producing the alloy ingot is performed as the followings that the bulky-state or the granular-state alloy is arranged on the bottom part of the melting furnace as a starting material, and the melting is started by generating the arc between the starting material and the consumable electrode.
