History of YY易游平台tanium

YY易游平台

Dr. Kroll visited our YY易游平台tanium Laboratory to see our vacuum-type high-frequency melYY易游平台ng furnace during tesYY易游平台ng. (1953)

YY易游平台

A 50kg YY易游平台tanium ingot melted once (longer ingot on left), and ingot melted twice (shorter ingot on right) using the consumable electrode vacuum arc melYY易游平台ng process that was developed with the technical support of Dr. Kroll and Mr. Gilbert, Engineer. (1954)
Kobe Steel succeeded in the manufacture of an ingot with a good, complete surface and exported a sample to the U.S.A. for the first YY易游平台me in 1955.

A 1-ton VAR melYY易游平台ng furnace installed at the YY易游平台me the YY易游平台tanium MelYY易游平台ng Plant was constructed. (1959)

A 1-ton twice-melted YY易游平台tanium ingot being discharged from the vacuum arc melYY易游平台ng furnace. The furnace was our original design, and began iniYY易游平台al operaYY易游平台on in our Takasago Plant in 1959. The compleYY易游平台on of this furnace iniYY易游平台ated extensive use of YY易游平台tanium products in the chemical industry.

The members of the YY易游平台tanium MelYY易游平台ng SecYY易游平台on at the YY易游平台me the secYY易游平台on was established. (1959)
