Abstract: | In most molten metal processing operations, the acts of melting, transporting and alloying the metal in preparation for casting into desired shapes introduces undesirable non‐metallic inclusions to the melt. Molten metals are highly reactive and tend to interact with gases and refractories during processing steps; undesirable phases are absorbed either as liquid or solid. Such examples of inclusion introduction are molten aluminum reacting with oxygen in air to form solid aluminum oxide, or molten cast iron reacting with oxygen in air to form liquid slag phases. |
