Abstract: The influence of crucible and vacuum on oxygen content of CuCr25 prepared by vacuum induction melting (VIM) has been investigated. The experimental results show that the selection of crucible is very important. Alkaline oxide MgO crucible can result in increment of oxygen content and segregation of Cr in the CuCr25 alloys prepared. Neutral oxide Al2O3 crucible has no contribution to oxygen in CuCr25. The results also indicate that some kinds of deoxidant, such as Al, are further beneficial to deoxidization of the alloys.
Key words: CuCr25 alloys; crucible; vacuum; deoxidization
