Estimating the term…
A method for manufacturing melt materials of copper, chromium, and at least one readily evaporable component as well as a fusible electrode for using this method is disclosed. More specifically, an arc melting method is used for the manufacture of melt materials based on copper and chromium in which the electrode material melting off a fusible electrode of given resultant composition is collected in a water-cooled permanent mold for the purpose of cooling down without macroscopic separation of copper and chromium. A fusible electrode for use in this method is also provided. This fusible electrode partially consists of a solid alloy of copper with the readily evaporable component.
A method for manufacturing melt material of copper, chromium and at least one further component selected from the group consisting of tellurium, selenium, antimony or mixtures thereof, which comprises:
A fusible electrode suitable for use in a method for manufacturing melt material which comprises copper, chromium, and a further component selected from the group consisting of tellurium, selenium, antimony, or mixtures thereof, wherein said tellurium, selenium, or antimony is at least partially alloyed in the copper as an intermetallic compound, with the copper-tellurium-, copper-selenium-, or copperantimony-alloy being present in the electrode as solid parts.
