Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metal Casting Slag Remover
Product Description
During the smelting process of aluminum and aluminum alloys, impurities can form due to the furnace environment and recycled materials. The refining process brings these impurities to the surface of the aluminum liquid, leading to slag formation. If untreated, these slags can result in aluminum loss. Our specialized flux ensures effective separation of slag from aluminum, reducing metal loss and enhancing aluminum purity.
Main Ingredients
- Chlorides: Sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl), efficient in removing oxides and sulfides.
- Fluorides: Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and sodium fluoride (NaF), enhance slag cleaning.
- Carbonates: Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), assist in desulfurization and dephosphorization.
- Silicates: Sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃), forms an easy-to-separate slag layer.
- Additional Additives: Aluminates, borates, etc., tailored for specific metals.
Technical Parameters
Model: XL-QZ
Shape: White powder, particle size < 20 mesh, water content below 0.5%.
Scope of Application: Suitable for aluminum and aluminum alloys, excluding magnesium alloys.
Reference Dosage: Use 0.1-0.2% of the aluminum melt weight, adjusted according to furnace type and charge purity.
Usage Instructions
Sprinkle the slag remover evenly on the aluminum melt surface, releasing heat and causing the slag to turn red. Stir the slag appropriately and remove it once it becomes powder. For covering, apply in three stages: when the charge begins to melt, after full melting, and after refining completion. Adjust the amount based on reference dosage.
Main Advantages
- Effective Slag Removal: Generates heat to ensure easy separation of slag from aluminum, making it dry and loose.
- Protection and Coverage: Creates a dense layer, preventing secondary air absorption and oxidation.
- Furnace Maintenance: Reduces slag adhesion to furnace walls and floor, extending furnace life.
- Multi-use Capability: Also serves as a furnace cleaning agent.
Packaging and Storage
Our product is packaged in corrugated boxes, each containing 20-25 kg. Ensure proper storage to maintain its moisture-proof quality.
Precautions
- Maintain appropriate temperature control; deviations can affect the cleaning effect.
- Ensure uniform distribution to avoid localized excess or deficiency.
- Adopt safety measures to prevent dust inhalation and contact with high temperatures.
