What Is Aluminum Flux? What Is the Composition and Function of Aluminum Flux?

 1. What is aluminum flux?

Aluminum flux refers to salt refining agent used in the aluminum alloy refining process, mostly solid composite salt. It is the flux mainly used to refine the aluminum melt.

 

2. The composition and function of aluminum flux

Aluminum flux is generally a mixture of alkali metal and alkaline earth haloid salt. There are many kinds of flux used for aluminum alloy, which can be separated into covering agent, degassing agent, refining agent, fluxing medium, oven cleaner, magnesium removing agent, sodium removing agent and calcium removing agent, etc.

 

The purpose of use of aluminum flux decides the composition of it. Generally, flux used for covering agent requires small surface tension and low melting point while those used for welding slag removal requires larger surface tension on aluminum liquid and less tension on oxidation slag. In order to improve slag removing, it is expected that the aluminum flux can produce heat. It's required that flux used for refining has good adsorption capacity and certain dissolving capacity for alumina. It is also hoped that the flux for aluminum has appropriate gas generation rate, which can obtain good degassing effect.

 

Jinzhou Sata Fused Fluxes and New Materials Factory is a professional manufacturer of aluminum flux who has comprehensive capabilities in product development, manufacturing, business management and service. We can provide high quality products, such as granular fluxes, sodium free refining flux. In addition, we can also provide raw materials and auxiliary products without flux agent, such as anhydrous magnesium chloride, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, synthetic cryolite, aluminum fluoride and potassium aluminum fluoride.

Main Components of Deslagging Agent

图片
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

图片
  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...
