Introduction of Powder Fluxes in Rotary Degassing System Towards Intensifying Refining Process of Aluminium Alloys by M. Piękoś, Z. Smorawiński

“…The innovation of the design of the stand and the treatment of the liquid metal with powdered additives consists of dosing the refiner fluid deep into the metal bath through a channel that was made in the rotor axis and the head; this differs from conventional methods in the small amounts of introduced salts and, at the same time, in the very good metal-inert gas-salt homogeneity of the treated metal bath. This method of dosing the refining salts increases the efficiency of their use, reduces any losses, and limits the formation of post-refining slag (thus, minimising the negative environmental effect). …”
