The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis describes the development of iron alloying into aluminium melt during continuous strip casting. Master alloys in the form of tablets or briquettes are used for alloying aluminium melt. Therefore, an alloying process was developed using cored iron wire through the pot of an electromagnetic pump melting furnace.
Problem
The diploma thesis describes the development of iron alloying into aluminium melt during continuous strip casting. Master alloys in the form of tablets or briquettes are used for alloying aluminium melt. During continuous strip casting, tablets or briquettes could not be used due to undissolved iron, which caused foil tearing and high scrap rates.
Solution and Method
Therefore, an alloying process was developed using cored iron wire through the pot of an electromagnetic pump melting furnace. The introduction of the melt alloying process with cored iron wire provides numerous advantages, such as: automatic dosing and greater alloying accuracy, lower alloying costs, greater worker safety during the alloying operation, higher utilisation of alloying elements, and complete dissolution of iron particles, which in the case of alloyed tablets and briquettes was often not the case.
