PRODUCT INFORMATION

Overview & technical details

  • PETROFOND SCOR – Flux for cleaning furnace walls

Proper maintenance of furnace walls is very important.

The formation of particles and the adhesion of corundum to the furnace wall severely limits the heat exchange, reduces the furnace capacity, and causes mold in the part.

This flux in powder form is suitable for cleaning furnace walls and can be used both manually and with the flux spraying system.

  • PETROFOND ECOSAL – Slag barrier and deoxidizer for aluminum and its alloys AL MG<1%, AL SI 7-13%

Molten aluminum alloys are subject to oxidation, so they must be protected by suitable coveralls during the melting cycle to prevent hydrogen absorption from the ambient atmosphere.

During the process, the use of suitable fluxes allows the oxides in the molten metal to be removed and the metallurgical properties to be improved.

  • PETROFOND ROCK FLUX – Kavaral specifically for scrap melting, scrap recycling of castings and machining scrap
  • FOUNDRY DEG – These products are in the form of tablets and are used to remove gas and oxides from the alloy. These tablets can be immersed in the molten metal manually with a suitable special tool and due to its self-immersion system.
  • Special flux for aluminum alloys, including Mg>1% alloys.

The refining action by Ti and B elements present in the flux improves the mechanical properties of the alloy.

This product can be used to deoxidize gravity casting alloy, low pressure and sand casting.

Proper treatment makes it possible to improve the mechanical properties, increase the length and strength of the alloy, as well as improve the surface quality.

  • PETROFOND AFF

The product contains PH, D, Ti-B, B, P and is in tablet form. They can be manually immersed in the melt through tools or they can be self-immersed.

  • Special products to eliminate harmful elements

Aluminum alloys contain elements such as sodium, calcium, lithium, magnesium, strontium or titanium.

The removal of these elements, depending on the application, is required when it causes structural changes in the alloy and their composition is more than the standard amount for the alloy.

PETROFOND FOUNDRY EL
Powder to remove Na, Ca, Li, Mg, Sr, Sb, Ti.

  • MASTER ALLOY

During the melting process of aluminum and its alloys, there is a need to adjust the content percentage of some elements.

The addition of these elements is to maintain the alloy structure or achieve the desired parameters in melting.

MASTER ALLOY Al Sr

Modification of Sr for Al Si, 7-12% Si

MASTER ALLOY AL Ti-B 5:1 – 3:1, P

Manganese

In bars of 100, 300, 500 grams

  • PETROFOND FOUNDRY ALL

Tablets for adding metallic elements to aluminum alloys.

The available elements are:

Cr – Cu – Fe – Ni – Mn – Ti – Si – Zr
