Cover Flux is used for covering and drossing molten aluminium and it’s alloys. It is also available for modifying aluminium-silicon alloys, for recovering aluminium from dross, for reclaiming chips, turnings and borings and for removal of oxide build up on furnace walls.
Benefits:
- Covering fluxes prevents oxidation losses of aluminium during melting. Thusimproving the yield of molten metal from the charge
- Drossing-off fluxes absorb oxides and non-metallic inclusions. It reduces theincidence of inclusions in the castings and also reduces the loss of metal throughthe dross
- Modifying fluxes improve the mechanical properties of aluminium – silicon alloysby refining eutectic microstructure
- Recovering fluxes help extract maximum aluminium from hot dross
- Reclaimed fluxes minimise the melting losses associated with the melting of chips,turnings and borings
- Furnace cleaning fluxes retain the melting capacity and efficiency of furnace whileimproving the life of the refractory lining
