Abstract

Co-Cr alloy is used more frequently than Ni-Cr alloy as a non-precious alloy for cast plates in Japan. However, since the melting temperature of Co-Cr alloy is very high, about 1300 degrees C, and since it oxidizes easily, a vacuum-pressure casting machine capable of melting this alloy in a reduced atmosphere has recently been developed. Using this machine, the effects of fusion temperature and the heating temperature of the cast ring on the Co-Cr alloy were studied. It was found that in the vacuum-pressure casting method, both the fusion temperature of the Co-Cr alloy and the heating temperature of the cast ring had a significant effect (p < 0.01) on the castability of the Co-Cr alloy.
