Main modeling challenges for vacuum arc remelting (VAR) are briefly highlighted
concerning various involving phenomena during the process such as formation and …

The arc characteristics especially the arc distribution of the vacuum arc remelting (VAR)
process are closely related to the ingot evolution and consequently the final product quality …

Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is an ultra-high temperature and opaque process. It is difficult
to conduct experimental research on the melt flow behavior and the formation of …

In this work, an industrial vacuum arc remelting (VAR) trial was conducted in a nickel-based
superalloy with 508 mm diameter. And the molten pool behavior, solidification structure, and …

A comprehensive numerical model is proposed to study the influence of an axial magnetic
field (AMF) on the solidification behavior of a Titanium-based (Ti–6Al–4V) vacuum arc …

Segregation defects greatly affect the service performance and working life of castings
during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process. However, the corresponding research on …

The assumption of transient rotating arc distribution is more closer to the actual vacuum arc
remelting (VAR) process, but there is still a lack of relevant research on the grain structure …

The choice of melting technique is crucial for controlling the purity of a superalloy, which is
especially important because purity has come to limit progress in the superalloy field. In this …

Currently, the temporal distribution of electric arcs across the ingot during vacuum arc
remelting (VAR) is not a known or monitored process parameter. Previous studies indicate …

In this paper, a transient 3-D model of the anode activity in a high-current vacuum arc
(HCVA) was established. The melting, flow, evaporation, and solidification of the anode …
