In this paper, a transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of an anode melting pool
(AMP) flow (AMPF) is established. Mass equation, momentum equations along axial, radial …

As part of a complete theoretical description of the behaviour of the electric arc in the
vacuum arc remelting process, a model has been developed for the column of plasma …

Vacuum Arc Remelting is an important method of processing reactive and refractory liquid
metal alloys, including titanium and zirconium alloys. Recent measurements of the electric …

The thermal behaviour of the consumable electrode is studied using both experimental
measurements and mathematical modelling. Infrared thermography measurements …

In this investigation, the characteristics of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in five Zr-alloys,
namely, commercial pure zirconium (CP-Zr), Zircaloy-2 (Zr–Sn), Zr-2.5 Nb (Zr–Nb), Zr-2.5 Nb …

High-speed camera imaging and optical emission spectroscopy have been used for
investigating the structure of the electric arc and the transfer mechanisms of the liquid metal …

Understanding the arc dynamics during VAR is important for controlling the final quality of
the ingot, as the spatial and temporal distribution of the arc dictates the electric current and …

The plasma produced during vacuum arc remelting of a Zircaloy4 electrode has been
investigated by optical emission spectroscopy. Spatial variations of plasma emission along …

The present study aims to understand the melting of the consumable electrode in the VAR
process and gain some insight into the influence of an ensemble arc motion on the melting …
