An Assessment of the Performance of the MBLE PV8910High Frequency Melting Unit for the Preparation of Solid Samples from Drillings,

摘要

An MBLE high frequency melting and centrifugal casting machine has been used to prepare solid samples from a variety of plain carbon and low alloy steels available in the form of millings. The results indicate that predictable melting losses occur in the cases of carbon and manganese,and irregular losses for titanium and aluminum. No losses were encountered with Si,Mn, P, S,Cr,Mo,Ni,Cu,Sn,and V,and this method of sample preparation is a viable alternative to argon-arc remelting. Copyright (c) British Steel Corporation, 1976.
