Abstract Scope |
Henan Zhongfu Industrial Co Ltd is a major aluminium producer making more than 600,000 tonnes of canbody and foil stock annually. After conducting successful trials in 2021 Optifine 3:1 high efficiency grain refiner was fully adopted in production usage which has resulted in reduced grain refiner consumption and improvements in finished product quality. Details of the quantitative quality studies made on canbody and foilstock over the two year period from the changeover to Optifine are presented. |
