Description
It is a powder flux used for cleaning (removing)
of build up from furnaces and ladles lining.
Also for removing non-metallic inclusions (oxide layers,
carbides and others), drossing off and covering surface
in aluminium melt. The dry and powder-type dross with
low metallic content was obtained after cleaning operation
by this flux.
Applications
Cleaning of build up (generated by dross
sticking on lining surface) from furnaces and ladles
lining. Cleaning aluminium alloys for wide range of
casting techniques and different furnace types. Drossing
off aluminium melt for aluminum scrap recycling.
Method of use
1. First part of flux introduces in furnace with
batch charging in dosage 0,1% (by mass).
2. Second part of flux introduces in melt (dosage
0,2-0,4% by mass) after melting of the charged
batch and stirring the melt.
3. After 5 minutes of melt rest the products of
reaction will be floating to the melt surface.
4. The mechanical cleaning (removing) of build
up from furnaces or ladles lining is possible after
dross skimming and melt pouring.
For all applications the temperature of treatment must
be above 720°С.
