The Effect of Covering Flux

 Covering flux is the continuous addition of powder or granular slag to the molten steel of the crystallizer. Aluminum additive manufacturer SATA will introduce the effect of covering flux below:

 

(1) Insulation with covering flux to avoid heat dissipation;

(2) Covering flux can isolate the air. The covering flux prevents the oxygen in the air from entering the molten steel and causing secondary oxidation, which affects the quality of the steel.

(3) The covering flux absorbs and dissolves the inclusions floating from the molten steel to the steel slag interface to purify the liquid steel;

(4) The covering flux has a layer of slag film between the mold wall and the condensation shell to smooth the effect, reduce the casting resistance, avoid the condensation shell and copper plate bond;

(5) The covering flux fills the air gap between the billet and the mold to improve the heat transfer.

 

During the casting process, the liquid covering slag layer squeezes into the shell and copper wall through the interface of molten steel and copper walls due to the oscillation of crystallizer and downward movement of condensation shell. The covering agent forms a solid layer of slag film outside the copper wall and a layer of liquid slag on the solidification shell, which makes the shell formed on the crystallizer call and covering flux smooth, making covering flux like oil motor shaft rolling with the lubricating oil.

Main Components of Deslagging Agent

The main components of deslagging agent are potassium, chlorine and fluorine. Among them, JKCZ-1 and JKCZ-2 all contain sodium, while JKCZ-3 does not contain sodium. The deslagging agent  produced by our company alleviates the disadvantageous factors of iron oxide to melt lime. The slag remover is adopting pre-melting process of calcium oxide, alumina and iron oxide and by pressing ball process. Because of the pre-melting process, calcium oxide is melted in advance, and calcium ferrite and calcium aluminate are formed in advance with iron oxide and alumina, which can reduce the heat needed for converter melting and shorten the melting time. The composite minerals formed by ferric oxide and alumina and calcium oxide have low melting point and fast melting speed, which can promote the quick melting of lime in converter. The alumina content of this product is different from that of pre-melting refining agent, and its price is relatively low. The product can reduce the use of conv...

Degassing Flux

Degassing Flux  (SATA-PF-350) General Description of Degassing Flux (SATA-PF-350) Practice has proved that the hydrogen is the main cause of the pores in the aluminium alloy, the pores not only reduce the actual cross-sectional area of the casting, but also the source of the crack, so it is important part that removing the hydrogen during the smelting process. SATA-degassing flux   also name aluminum degassing flux   is   a kind of traditional high efficiency degassing flux for aluminium and its alloys, it used for removing hydrogen and oxides from the aluminium melting. Application of Degassing Flux (SATA-PF-350) Plunge suitable quantity flux to the bottom (100mm from the bottom is better) of the melt, evenly and slowly remove the lunch, make the flux fully react with aluminium molten, stand or stir the molten for 10-15 min, the hydrogen and oxide will be taken out of aluminium molten. Advantage of Degassing Flux (SATA-PF-350) Easy operation, There ...

Covering Flux Characteristics You Don't Know

  The covering flux is a covering material that can extend the solidification time of the molten metal in the riser and cover the surface of the molten metal in the riser during casting production. There are two types of covering fluxes: thermal insulation covering fluxes and heat-generating covering fluxes.  We provide refining flux , alumina ceramic foam filter , grain refiner for aluminium , magnesium flux , electrode flux material an d s o on.   The characteristics of the covering flux are as follows:   1. The thermal insulation covering flux is made of low thermal conductivity materials, such as expanded perlite, expanded graphite, etc.   2. In addition to the low thermal conductivity material, the heating covering flux is added with a certain proportion of heating materials. Under the heat of the molten metal, the oxidant provides oxygen to oxidize the reducing agent and generates heat, thereby prolonging the solidification time of the molten metal in...
