METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMELTING AND REFINING OF MAGNESIUM AND MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

摘要

An apparatus for melting and refining of magnesiumand magnesium alloys is used both for melting of ingots andremelting of return metal. Metal is melted by pumping anoverheated salt melt from a heating zone in a salt meltfurnace and distributing it over the metal which is placed ina basket above the liquid level in the furnace. The metalmelts and is immediately removed from the basket without beingfurther heated. A melt composition rich in calcium chloridewith a content of calcium fluoride is preferably used.26625-124
