A process for producing homogeneous binary alloys comprised of a first element present in a major amount having a melting point below the liquidus of the binary alloy and a second element present in a minor amount having a melting point above the liquidus of the binary alloy, whereby the second element is formed into a semi-consumable electrode and is employed to melt the first element progressively fed into a crucible or mold. The power for forming the high energy electric arc is controlled to maintain a molten pool in the crucible and to effect a progressive melting of the semi-consumable electrode, whereby liquid droplets of the higher melting alloy enter and become substantially completely dissolved in the molten pool at a controlled rate in consideration of the rate of feed of the first element to provide a resultant binary alloy having the desired proportion of the two alloying elements. The process is particularly applicable for producing homogeneous ingots of titanium-molybdenum binary alloys.
