Abstract: The present invention relates to high purity chromium metal suitable for deposition onto a semiconductor wafer or other substrate by sputtering. The high purity chromium metal is produced by a process that increases productivity, expands melting capability and provides consistent high purity chromium by reducing contamination by the dissolution of crucible material. The present invention provides high purity chromium by the addition of chromium oxide (Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3) to molten chromium to control oxygen content in the chromium thereby producing high purity chromium ingots and protecting the ceramic crucibles from chemical attach by the liquid chromium.

Abstract: An iron-nickel superalloy of the type IN 706 has an addition of 0.02 to 0.3 percent by weight of boron and/or 0.05 to 1.5 percent by weight of hafnium. By means of this addition, a virtual doubling of the ductility is achieved as compared with an addition-free iron-nickel superalloy of the type IN 706, while the hot strength is reduced only slightly. The alloy is particularly suitable as a material for rotors of large gas turbines. It has a sufficiently high hot strength. When locally acting temperature gradients arise unwanted stresses can occur to only a slight extent because of the high ductility of the alloy.
