Product Description
With great support from our talented employees, we are becoming as one of the promising manufacturers and suppliers of Cover Flux SP-VI. It is generally added in two stages, half when melting begins and remaining when metal is completely in molten state. This chemical forms a protective covering over the melts surface and prevents oxidation losses. Cover Flux SP-VI is a green colored powdery salt mixture which instantly expands and spreads to cover entire surface.
Features:- Can oxidize excessive magnesium
- Minimizes the penetration of atmospheric hydrogen
- Absorbs non-metallic impurities
It is used for recovering Aluminum from the hot dross without melting again, which saves the cost of remelting. This flux and red hot dross are added alternately in sandwich fashion in the perforated vessel or bogie. The dross is stirred continuously every 15 minutes till no more metal falls through holes of vessel. The application rate of this flux is 5-10 %.
Packing: 50 packets of 1 kg. Packed in 50 kgs. Double Polylined Hessian sacks, which is solid enough to withstand shakes and jolts of transportation.
Effective Protection for Aluminium MeltingCover Flux SP-VI serves as a reliable shield against oxidation during aluminium and alloy melting processes. Its finely calibrated particle size ensures even coverage and efficient fluxing, thereby improving metal yield and reducing inclusions. The use of this flux is particularly beneficial in foundries where consistent quality and metal recovery are paramount.
Safe, Easy Handling and StoragePackaged in robust 50 kg bags, Cover Flux SP-VI is free-flowing and simple to apply. Though non-poisonous and odourless, users are advised to wear gloves and safety glasses. For maximum shelf life, store the product in a dry, cool, well-sealed environment, and use within 12 months of manufacturing.
FAQs of Cover Flux SP-VI:
Q: How should Cover Flux SP-VI be applied during aluminium melting processes?
A: Cover Flux SP-VI should be evenly sprinkled or distributed over the molten aluminium surface in the furnace. This allows the flux to form a protective layer, minimizing oxidation and dross formation during the melting and holding stages.
Q: What benefits does Cover Flux SP-VI offer for aluminium alloy foundries?
A: Its use helps reduce oxidation, minimize metal loss, improve casting cleanliness, and enhance overall metal yield. The flux also eases dross removal, promoting smoother and more efficient foundry operation.
Q: When is the best stage to add Cover Flux SP-VI during the melting process?
A: For optimal results, add the cover flux once the aluminium is completely molten and before any alloying or pouring processes begin. This maximizes its protective effect against atmospheric contact.
Q: Where should Cover Flux SP-VI be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Store the flux in a cool, dry place, keeping the bag tightly sealed to avoid moisture absorption, ensuring the product remains free-flowing and effective throughout its 12-month shelf life.
Q: What precautions should be taken when handling Cover Flux SP-VI?
A: Personnel should wear gloves and safety glasses to prevent direct contact with the skin and eyes, even though the product is non-poisonous and odourless. Basic workplace safety standards are sufficient.
Q: Is Cover Flux SP-VI compatible with all types of aluminium alloys?
A: Yes, the product is specifically designed and suitable for use with aluminum and its assorted alloys, ensuring versatility across various foundry applications.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for Cover Flux SP-VI, and in what packaging is it available?
A: The minimum order quantity is 500 kg, supplied in 50 kg bags to facilitate bulk handling requirements typically encountered in industrial settings.
