A range of Powder Fluxes required in aluminium melting for covering, protecting and cleaning the molten metal.

Application Rate:

• For Crucible Furnaces: 0.5 - 1 % of metal charge. Higher percent addition is recommended for loose and uncleaned scrap.
• For Reverberatory Furnaces: 125 - 150 gms per sq. Ft of liquid pool area.

• Take requisite quantity of flux as recommended above..
• It is most important to keep the cover of the flux intact on the melt throughout the melting practice. For this it is advisable to use the Ceraflux in two, three stages
• For Ceraflux-29 and 36 modifying fluxes melting practice is as follows Melt the charge by using Ceraflux- 11 then do the degassing and skimming at required temperature and then add modifying flux evenly on the metal surface. Allow to melt and then mix it for three minutes. Then keep the melt holding for further five minutes. Reach upto the pouring temperature. Dross of with Ceraflux-11 and then metal is ready for pouring.
