The air induction melted-argon oxygen decarburized-horizontal continuous casting process (AIM-AOD-CC) is the premier process for the production of nickel-, cobalt-, and iron-base master alloys for remelting by precision casters. Since the introduction of the process by Cannon-Muskegon Corporation in 1981, over 12,000 heats have been produced. This paper reviews the AIM-AOD-CC process and examines its benefits—stressing analytical consistency, metallurgical cleanliness, trace element control, and the importance of alloy chemistry balance on properties and performance. The paper further reviews remelting practices by precision casters, specifically deoxidation practices, use of filters, and inert cover gases.
