Here's an interesting technique -> http://www.vacuumschmelze.de/dynamic/en/home/researchampinnovation/processtechnology/vacuuminductionmelting.php I'm wondering how difficult it would be to make a vacuum induction melting pot. Not sure if it does any good to put the iron in a vacuum to help remove impurities if I'm just going to be pouring a liquid on it. This looks easier -> http://www.vacuumschmelze.de/dynamic/en/home/researchampinnovation/processtechnology/rapidsolidificationtechnology.php Iron is made molten with induction coils, then a ceramic nozzle allows a thin amount to pour on a cold casting wheel.
