| Abstract Scope |
In Aluminium casthouse using ceramic foam filters (CFF) is the well-established technology for reducing inclusion levels in billets and rolling ingots. Reduction of dissolved hydrogen in Aluminum melts in reduce porosity is typically done by a gas purging process using Argon or Nitrogen, possibly mixed with Chlorine.
With a novelty CFF material it is possible to remove inclusions plus to reduce dissolved hydrogen in the melt.
The poster presentation describes the current state of technology of the filter. To further characterize and compare the new filter generation to the current technology, trials testing permeability and strength while casting have been performed. Various casting trials using different alloys had been carried out to rate the performance and measure the reduction of hydrogen in the melt. |
