Conservation of energy and materials by recycling complex alloys

Abstract

AbstractTechniques for the recycling of complex alloys containing nickel, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, and titanium, in both solid and particulate form, are discussed. Material processed in this way has been accepted as sufficiently pure for direct charging into vacuum melting furnaces. Typical energy and cost savings that can be achieved by recycling complex alloys are presented.
