Abstract: The purification effect of aluminium melt by flux injection technique with SDJ-1 high efficient flux and N2, and also the interaction between the flux and bubbles were studied. The results show that with special flux(SDJ-1) and technology(FI), proper addition amount(0.15%) of flux and melting temperature(720 ℃), the technique have an advantage over other techniques. This may be due to particular inclusion removed mechanism, which can result in dispersion of flux and bubbles. Larger interfaces, narrow channels make the hydrogen easy to gather around them and increase the difference of the hydrogen partial pressure between the bubbles and the melt around. And the channels also contribute to the dispersion and division of bubbles.
Purification of aluminium melt by flux injection degassing technique with SDJ-1 and N2
Abstract:
The purification effect of aluminium melt by flux injection technique with SDJ 1 high efficient flux and N 2, and also the interaction between the flux and bubbles were studied. The results show that with special flux (SDJ 1) and technology (FI) , proper addition amount (0.15%) of flux and melting temperature (720?℃) , the technique have an advantage over other techniques. This may be due to particular inclusion removed mechanism, which can result in dispersion of flux and bubbles. Larger interfaces, narrow channels make the hydrogen easy to gather around them and increase the difference of the hydrogen partial pressure between the bubbles and the melt around. And the channels also contribute to the dispersion and pision of bubbles.
