Abstract
The possibilities of recycling chips in a crucible induction furnace (CIF) are examined. To reduce the remelting time of ShKh15 steel and aluminum chips, they were pressed into briquettes with a diameter of 100 mm and remelted in the CIF. The behavior of gaseous impurities during melting and deoxidation was studied. It was shown that under CIF furnace conditions, it is possible to obtain metal suitable for both direct manufacturing of products and for the production of consumable electrodes. 10 Ref., 2 Tabl., 3 Fig.
