SCOT-GR 2815 - Granulated Fluxes

Description

Scot-GR 2815 is a sodium free grain refining granulated flux suitable for Aluminium and Aluminium alloys including those containing alloying amounts of magnesium. It is a universal grain refiner based on titanium and boron. Scot-GR 2815 when plunged into the melt reacts to form titanium diboride and aluminium boride. These finely dispersed species are highly efficient nuclei that promote a fine equiaxed grain growth during solidification. This grain structure ensures excellent feeding characteristics leading to improvement in mechanical properties of the casting. This improvement in feeding properties is beneficial in sand casting application but is of particular benefit in gravity die casting where solidification rates are usually quite high.

Specifications
Application temperature - 700 °C and higher. Addition rate - 0 0.05 - 0.15 % of the metal weight, depending on alloy type

Application
Scot-GR 2815 is a sodium free granular flux used for grain refinement metal treatment for aluminium & aluminium alloys to improve mechanical properties of castings.
