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

“…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). The feedstock that was used for the test smelts consisted of recycled materials: aluminium 99.7 (in the form of wires of various cross-sections that were used in electrical engineering – so-called ‘SECTOR’), and the sub-eutectic AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy (in ingot form). …”
