Summary

The consumable electrode arc melting of cold-compacted thorium powder has been developed to produce dense, clean and soft ingots which can be hot rolled without cracking. By using a water-cooled copper crucible, contamination has been prevented and resultant ingots cleaner than the original powder have been produced.
