    Assessment of Separation and Agglomerationt Tendency of Non-Metallic Inclusions in an Electromagnetically Stirred Aluminum Melt
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2023) Li, Cong; Dang, Thien; Gokelma, Mertol; Zimmermann, Sebastian; Mitterecker, Jonas; Friedrich, Bernd
    Presence of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) reduces surface quality and mechanical properties of aluminum products. The development of good NMIs removal practices relies on the understanding of inclusion behaviors with respect to separation and agglomeration particularly in the turbulent flow. In the scenario of electromagnetically induced recirculated turbulent flow, the concerned behaviors of inclusions with different sizes have rarely been investigated experimentally. In the presented study funded by AMAP Open Innovation Research Cluster, reference materials were prepared with uniformly distributed NMIs (SiC and MgAl2O4) via an ultrasoundinvolved casting route. Reference materials were charged into an aluminum melt where turbulent flow was promoted via electromagnetic force. Microscopical analysis shows non-significant agglomeration tendency of SiC, MgAl2O4, and TiB2 inclusion. Time-weight filtration curve, PoDFA, and Spark Spectrometer results suggest a strong dependence of separation rate on particle size. Analytical models were established to estimate the collision rate of particles and to evaluate separation probability of different sized particles.

    Assessment of Melt Cleanliness of Secondary 5000 Aluminum Alloy Via Non-Metallic Inclusions Characterization
    (Springer, 2023) Li, Cong; Dang, Thien; Huang, Jinxian; Huang, Chunfa; Li, Jianguo; Friedrich, Bernd; Gökelma, Mertol
    The extensive energy consumption of primary aluminum production stimulates increasing need of producing primary-quality alloys with secondary sources, during which process amount of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) in the alloy must be strictly controlled. In the present study funded by AMAP Open Innovation Research Cluster, NMIs generated during remelting a 5000 Al-Mg alloy was investigated to offer benchmarking characters of NMIs with respect to type, morphology, size, composition, and concentration. Under different remelting conditions NMIs formed in the melt ahead of solidification were concentrated using Porous Disc Filtration Apparatus (PoDFA) and characterized microstructurally and quantitatively. Investigated conditions included heating cycle, organic contaminations, and refractory materials. Results suggested oxide films and cuboid particles as typical oxides with, respectively, different compositions. The amount of formed oxides declined with the increase of heating rate. With respect to aluminum carbide (Al4C3), organic contaminations were confirmed to lead to an increased amount of its formation. The carbon-containing refractory material contributed more significantly than organic contaminations on the formation of Al4C3 at melt temperatures over 760 & DEG;C. Formulas were derived based on trial results to enable translation of NMIs PoDFA value [mm(2)/kg] into their mass fraction [ppm] in the melt.
