NETL utilizes its melt lab facilities to create controlled chemistry alloys for further evaluation in our other facilities. Alloys are initially conceived and evaluated using computational thermodynamics. Once designed, the alloys are formulated from industrial purity remelt stocks. Melt operations include non-consumable vacuum arc remelting (VAR) melting up to a few pounds, consumable VAR and electro-slag remelting (ESR) melting up to 440 lbs, and vacuum induction melting (VIM) up to 50lb in this lab (up to 300# in another). Once melted, ingots are sampled for chemistry. Heats that are destined for deformation processing are given a computationally optimized homogenization heat treatment and machined prior to hot working.
