Abstract
The deoxidation of molten titanium was attempted by aluminum suboxide evolution in an electron-beam remelting furnace. Titanium aluminum all oy was deoxidized to about 0.05 to 0.01 wt pct oxygen in a few minutes by adding aluminum to the melt. Aluminum activity in the alloy was es timated by the evaporation rate of aluminum.
