Secondary melting of superalloy stock is required to improve chemical homogeneity and reduce levels of inclusions. This primer describes the vacuum arc remelting and electoslag remelting processes which are used on the vacuum induction melted stock so that the resulting ingot can be thermomechanically processed.
