Vacuum induction melting (VIM) is the most widely used process for the commercial production of NiTi alloys. But, the major drawback in VIM is the carbon contamination of the ingot from the graphite crucible. During melting, carbon reacts with Ti and forms TiC. This alters the Ni/Ti ratio in the alloy and thereby changes the transformation temperatures drastically. Also, the TiC particles in the matrix...
