Understanding Rotary Degassing of Aluminum
Rotary degassing is a critical process in aluminum casting to remove dissolved hydrogen and impurities from molten aluminum. Dissolved hydrogen, if left unchecked, forms bubbles during solidification, leading to porosity in the final casting. This porosity negatively affects mechanical properties, reducing strength and ductility.
Aluminum Degassing Methods - Picking the Best Method
There are six commonly recognized methods of degassing aluminum. These are briefly discussed below along with the pros and cons of each method.
