A process of melting a 32NKD superinvar alloy from industrial wastes in a 1100-kg FS (core-free) induction furnace is developed. The preparation of a charge, namely, fraction composition, oxidation, the content of harmful impurities, and a method of charging, is considered in detail to ensure the maximum resistance of a crucible and to optimize melting. The methods of decreasing the height of the meniscus that forms on the melt surface because of the specific features of induction heating and the related features of slag formation are analyzed.
