Subsequently, the 2.5-ton Li was installed to the ELTL by using a glove box in the form of ingots which is 240 mm long and 125 mm in diameter.
Processing of metals in the solid state can be divided into two major stages: first, the raw material in the form of large ingots or billets is hot-worked, usually by rolling, forging, or extrusion, into smaller shapes and sizes; second, these shapes are processed into final parts and products by one or more smaller scale hot or cold forming processes.
Finally, examples are given for the available practical MMCCs, either in the form of raw composite ingots or shape casting, and are evaluated.
The paper gives the results of an investigation of electron beam evaporation from one source of multicomponent mixtures of metallic and non-metallic materials, prepared in the form of compacted tablets or composite ingots.

The processing of titanium metal occurs in 4 major steps: reduction of titanium ore into "sponge", a porous form; melting of sponge, or sponge plus a master alloy to form an ingot; primary fabrication, where an ingot is converted into general mill products such as billet, bar, plate, sheet, strip, and tube; and secondary fabrication of finished shapes from mill products.
