    Abstract: An apparatus for melting an electrically conductive metallic material includes a vacuum chamber and a hearth disposed in the vacuum chamber. At least one wire-discharge ion plasma electron emitter is disposed in or adjacent the vacuum chamber and is positioned to direct a wide-area field of electrons into the vacuum chamber, wherein the wide-area electron field has sufficient energy to heat the electrically conductive metallic material to its melting temperature. The apparatus may further include, at least one of a mold and an atomizing apparatus which is in communication with the vacuum chamber and is positioned to receive molten material from the hearth. Preferably, the pressure within the furnace chamber is maintained at more than 5,3 Pa to decrease evaporation of volatile elements.

    Abstract: A thermo-mechanical treatment process is disclosed. The process comprises a first heating step comprising heating a nickel-base alloy workpiece to a temperature greater than a M 23 C 6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy; a first working step comprising working the heated nickel-base alloy workpiece to a reduction in area of 20% to 70%, wherein the nickel-base alloy workpiece is at a temperature greater than a M 23 C 6 carbide solvus temperature when the first working step begins; a second heating step comprising heating the worked nickel-base alloy workpiece to a temperature in a range of 927°C (1700°F) to less than the M 23 C 6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy, wherein the as-worked nickel-base alloy workpiece is maintained at elevated temperature and not permitted to cool to ambient temperature between completion of the first working step and beginning of the second heating step; and a second working step comprising working the heated nickel-base alloy workpiece to a second reduction in area of 20% to 70%, wherein the nickel-base alloy workpiece is at a temperature greater than 927°C (1700°F) and less than the M 23 C 6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy when the second working step begins.

    Abstract: A method of processing a metal alloy includes heating to a temperature in a working temperature range from a recrystallization temperature of the metal alloy to a temperature less than an incipient melting temperature of the metal alloy, and working the alloy. At least a surface region is heated to a temperature in the working temperature range. The surface region is maintained within the working temperature range for a period of time to recrystallize the surface region of the metal alloy, and the alloy is cooled so as to minimize grain growth. In embodiments including superaustenitic and austenitic stainless steel alloys, process temperatures and times are selected to avoid precipitation of deleterious intermetallic sigma-phase. A hot worked superaustenitic stainless steel alloy having equiaxed grains throughout the alloy is also disclosed.
