Title: Method and assembly for consumable electrode vacuum arc melting
Inventor: POULSEN ELDON RAY
IPC: C22B9/20
Filed: 1993-03-16
Abstract: A method and electrode assembly for use in consumable electrode arc melting of metals and alloys, particularly titanium and titanium-base alloys. The method includes forming an assembly including an electrode of the metal or alloy to be melted. An elongated ring, which is of metal or alloy construction, has one end connected to one end surface of the electrode and another end connected to an electrode holder, which is connected to a source of electrical potential. The ring has an outside diameter less than the outside diameter of the electrode to form an annular marginal area on the end surface of the electrode. This annular marginal area is defined by the ring and the periphery of the end surface of the electrode. This assembly is positioned within a cooled mold of conductive material, which mold is also connected to a source of electrical potential. An electrical current is produced between the electrode and the mold to produce an arc from the end of the electrode to continuously melt the electrode to form an ingot. Melting is continued until the annular marginal area at least begins to melt and melting is discontinued before the marginal area melts completely away. Hence, the melting operation may be stopped before the electrode is completely melted away to result in contamination of the ingot by melting of material from the ring or electrode holder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A heated volatile dispenser and a volatile carrier for use therewith are disclosed. The volatile dispenser has a closed heating chamber having ceiling and exit vents. A fuel burner is contained within the heating chamber, and a carrier holder is positioned over the fuel burner. The carrier holder holds a volatile carrier in a location above the fuel burner such that hot gases from the fuel burner pass the carrier holder and directly heat a volatile carrier held thereby. The volatile carrier may be held in an edge-on orientation with respect to the flow of hot gases, or transversely with respect to them. The volatile carrier has an inward end that has a cross-sectional profile made to be complementary to that of an insert slot through which the volatile carrier must be inserted for use. An alternative embodiment is shown that uses a candle as a fuel burner. A kit is shown that includes a candle and a volatile carrier that are designed to be exhausted at the same time so that the candle's consumption serves as a use-cue for the volatile carrier. Methods of dispensing volatiles are disclosed.
