Casting aluminum liquid purification process
The aluminum liquid sucked from the electrolytic cell contains various impurities, so it needs to be purified before casting. The industry mainly uses purification methods such as clarification, flux, and gas, and some try directional solidification and filtration methods for purification, and there are some small methods on the Internet, precision casting . 1. Flux purification Flux purification is to use the flux added to the aluminum liquid to form a large number of fine droplets, so that the oxides in the aluminum liquid are wetted, absorbed and dissolved by these droplets, forming new droplets that rise to the surface, and form a float after cooling. The slag is removed. The flux used for purification is composed of salt with low melting point, low density, low surface tension, high activity, and strong adsorption capacity for oxidized slag. When in use, first put a small piece of flux into the iron cage, then insert it into the bottom of the mixing furnace and stir it back and...
