Arc Distribution During the Vacuum Arc Remelting of Ti-6Al-4V. R. Woodside, C. Nordlund, and P. E. King, “Arc distribution during the vacuum arc remelting of Ti-6Al-4V.” Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B 44.1 (2013): 154-165.
The temperature profile in the liquid and mushy zones for two cases of VAR melting of Ti-6-4. The case on the left is for the predicted current density into the ingot for the center arc-distribution mode, and the case on the right is for the ring distribution mode. The distribution was considered axisymmetric and constant over the duration of the melt.
