METHOD FOR OXYGEN REDUCTION IN Ti BY ADDING CARBON POWDERS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for reduction of oxygen in Ti by addition of carbon powder is provided to easily obtain low-oxygen Ti by reducing oxygen in Ti while melting Ti. CONSTITUTION: A method for reduction of oxygen in Ti is as follows. Carbon of 0.01-5.0wt.% is added to pure Ti and Ti is melted. The melting process employs a vacuum arc melting method, an electron-beam melting method, or a plasma arc melting method.
