Applications for refining flux:
AdTech’s refining flux is white with slightly gray powdery fine particles. The main ingredients are chloride and villiaumite, together with other compounds. After appropriate heat treatment and screening, it turns to uniform size, which is conducive for transferring in a refining jar with(N2 or Ar) gas as a carrier to the bottom layer of molten aluminum. Through physical and chemical changes in the molten aluminum, numerous small bubbles are formed and fully in contact with molten aluminum, separating hydrogen and other harmful gases. At the same time, adsorbing and fusing compounds contained in the refining flux can strongly adsorbing and fusing oxide and float, attaching together to the bubbles, with the rise of the bubbles and being brought to the surface of molten aluminum, so as to achieve the degassing and deslagging purpose of purification. Both environmentally friendly and economically, purifying with AdTech’s refining flux meets the requirement of high value-added & high-tech performance aviation, transportation, and other aluminum alloy precise casting production, such as computer hard drive, micron-sized aluminum foil raw material, PS baseboard for printing, canning materials, fan blades for turbojet engine, etc.
