ALTI5B1 COIL chemicals

Product Overview

AlTi5B1 Grain Refiner is an essential metallurgical additive for aluminium casting units, designed to refine and improve the grain structure, homogeneity, and mechanical properties of aluminium and its alloys.

During solidification, aluminium can develop coarse columnar, equiaxed, or dendritic grains, which can negatively affect casting quality. These coarse grains may promote particle clustering, reduce feeding efficiency, and result in lower tensile strength, ductility, wear resistance, and overall casting performance.

AlTi5B1 promotes the formation of a fine, uniform and equiaxed grain structure, helping produce aluminium castings with improved consistency, mechanical properties, and surface quality.

Key Benefits

  • Fine and uniform grain structure
  • Improved casting homogeneity
  • Enhanced tensile strength and mechanical properties
  • Better feeding characteristics
  • Reduced coarse-grain formation
  • Improved wear resistance
  • Consistent casting quality
  • Suitable for aluminium and aluminium alloys
 
 

Instructions for use :

 1.Prepare the required alloy composition. Follow the normal fluxing and cleaning procedureas recommended.
2. Degas the melt with tablet  DEGASER or by mobile degassing unit and dross off byusing small quantity of – COVERFLUX.
3. After the degassing operation, add ECO-Alti5B1 grain refiner at an application rate of 0.20to 0.40 by weight at temperature between 700-750 Deg C.
4. Rabble the melt to ensure homogeneity, wait for 5 to 10 min. then use.
5. In case ofAlTi5B1 in coil form, the addition is done in the launder close to furnacespout.
