Abstract

1406026 Casting processes HEPPENSTALL CO 22 Nov 1972 [7 June 1972] 32162/74 Divided out of 1405167 Addition to 1366707 Heading B3F A method of preventing shrinkage cavities in ingots comprises forming a body 16 of degassed molten metal in a mould 10 and then continuously supplying molten metal to the mould by electron beam melting of an electrode 50 at a rate substantially equal to the rate of volume loss by shrinkage on cooling whereby the level of metal in the mould is maintained substantially constant until solidification is complete. The top of the metal in the mould is preferably heated by the electron beams during the melting process. The initial body of metal in the mould may be formed by vacuum stream degassing, the molten metal being supplied from a ladle (15) mounted on top of the vacuum chamber 12 in place of the portion 17 Alternatively, air teemed metal in the mould 10 may be degassed during the evacuation of the chamber 12 preparatory to the electron beam melting operation.
