<p>A melt-manufacturing process for producing an intermetallic compound or an alloy without causing splash which is liable to take place due to a vigorous exothermic reaction. Typical examples of the intermetallic compound are silicides with a high melting point, such as titanium silicide, molybdenum silicide, and tungsten silicide. Examples of the alloy are those of Fe-Co-heavy rare earth element (at least one of Tb, Gd, and Dy). The former has recently been noted as material for electrodes or wiring of semiconductor devices. The latter is important as target material for a photothermomagnetic element. The process comprises adding an additive to a molten material in the form of (1) wire, (2) rod, (3) tapered rod, (4) tapered, powder-filled capsules or (5) particles or pellets of 1 to 5 mm in diameter in place of adding it in the form of small pieces or powder as in the conventional process, thus preventing or depressing splashing. This process enables stable production of a product with a desired formulation in a high yield.</p> |
