Granular Drossing Flux

Product Description:

This kind of flux is a granulated mild exothermic fluxes used for all kinds of Aluminium Alloy except the high mg(mg>2%)alloy, Its a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride and heat-generating chloride compound. These materials produce a low melting point that effectively separate aluminium oxides from liquid metal. It can improve the cleanliness of the molten aluminium and reduce the metal loss, improve the quality of foundry product.

Application Method:

Manually Addition:

1. After charging, spread the flux evenly over the surface of the melt.

2. Let it stand for 3-4miniutes

3. Stir the flux into the melt using a proper mixing tool. Stir the dross without disturbing the liquid metal to avoid reintroducing metal to the dross.

4. When the dross is light and dry, carefully remove it from the furnace using a coated skimming tool. Take care to not disturb the melt.

Injection addition:

It is important to monitor the pressure of the carrier gas when using the injection equipment, Excessive pressure and high speed will produce dross, and mixed into the molten aluminium

Pls don’t leave and residue in the hopper when ready to handle the dross.

Working temperature: above 650℃

Benefit:

1. Less dosage than powder drossing flux, it can reduce about 50%
2. Removes non-metallic inclusions, aluminium oxide as well.
3. Less dust than powder fluxes when application especially for regenerative furnace
4. Get dry and powdery dross and reduce metal loss
5. Uniform size and stable performance

Addition rate:

It depends on the quality of the charge. Recommendation rate is 0.8-2kg per ton of molten aluminium, if the molten aluminium has impurity, it will need more flux

  The addition rate is depending on the surface of furnace (especially the slag handle), aluminium molten and furnace.
