Numerical modeling and experimental validation of the effect of arc distribution on the as-solidified Ti64 ingot in vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process

A numerical model coupling electromagnetic field and plasma arc impact with multiphase transport phenomena such as flow, heat transfer and solidification for the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is proposed. 3D simulations of the VAR process for refining a Titanium-based (Ti–6Al–4V) alloy are made...
