Abstract
NiAl-based electrodes of a required size were fabricated by combined use of centrifugal SHS casting and induction remelting in an inert atmosphere and characterized by modern analytical methods. Thus produced electrode materials exhibiting high chemical purity and low content of impurity gases (0.005 wt % O, 0.0001 wt % N) can be recommended for use in centrifugal plasma sputtering of micro granules via the plasma rotating electrode process (PREP).
