In spite of extensive efforts by the aluminum industry to gain a better understanding of molten aluminum-water explosions and how they can be prevented, explosions continue to occur. A valuable insight into the causes of many of the explosions occurring in recent years has been provided by the world-wide molten metal incident reporting program instituted by The Aluminum Association in 1985. The reports submitted to the Association and shared with the more than 200 program participants serve to enhance awareness, to provide information for employee safety training and to provide guidance for the industry's programs and efforts to prevent these occurrences.
