SCOT-GR 510 - Granulated Fluxes

Description

SCOT-GR-510 is a mild exothermic granulated flux suitable for all types of aluminium alloys with the exception of AlMg alloys where even a slight sodium pick-up must be avoided. SCOT-GR-510 can be used on medium to low metal temperatures in sand, die and high pressure die casting foundries.

Specifications
Application temperature: < 700 - 750 ºC Addition rate: 0.05 - 0.1 % of the metal weight depending on application type and foundry conditions.

Application : 
Purpose : SCOT-GR-510 produces dry ash-like dross that is easily separated from the liquid metal. Skimming is thus facilitated and metal loss due to aluminium entrapment in the dross is reduced.

Benefits: SCOT-GR-510 has been specially developed to be environmentally friendly. It is dust free in use and emits low fume during application. Granulated fluxes can be used at reduced application rates compared to powder fluxes.

Instructions for use: The best application of SCOT-GR-510 is dosing into the pouring stream during the filling of transport ladles or crucibles. Alternatively it can be added to the metal surface after transfer is Complete. If an FDU degassing treatment is being used the flux will react easily resulting in a light and dry dross. If no degassing treatment is taking place then the flux must be stirred vigorously with a preheated perforated Ladle until a dry dross is achieved. After the reaction is complete the dross should be carefully removed using an appropriate skimming tool.
