摘要:
A method of making high melting point alloys. The reactive and non-reactive charge materials are separately refined as initial alloys, generally as an alloy of a base element selected from the iron group of the Periodic Table, such as nickel, and at least one metallic element other than the base element. At least one first initial alloy and at least one second initial alloy are provided. The metallic elements other than the base element in the first initial alloys are relatively non-reactive in the molten state, whereas the metallic elements in the second initial alloys are relatively reactive in the molten state. Amounts of the first and second initial alloys are selected to yield a predetermined composition of the high melting point alloy upon melting. The selected amounts are melted to form a molten mixture having the predetermined composition, and then the molten mixture is solidified.

摘要:
Directionally solidified superalloy components having a bulk sulfur concentration of less than 1 part per million by weight are provided by vacuum melting a charge to form a superalloy melt, desulfurizing the melt by contact with a calcium-bearing desulfurizing agent for a time to reduce sulfur concentration of the melt to less than 1 ppm by weight, casting the melt directly or following solidification and remelting in a ceramic investment mold, and directionally solidifying the melt as cast components without adverse bulk sulfur pick-up subsequent to desulfurization to provide castings having a sulfur content below 1 ppm, such as in the range of hundreds of parts per billion to provide significantly improved oxidation resistance.
