Aluminum melt treatment flux for ADC12, LM6, and A356 die casting alloys with targeted hydrogen-removal and inclusion-control trials. Our solution is engineered for ADC12 and Al-Si die casting.

Best for

ADC12 and Al-Si die casting

Primary need: ADC12 melt treatment

Product: KelviFlux UltraPure

What it is

degassing flux ADC12

KelviFlux is a proven granular aluminum degassing flux for ADC12, LM6, A356, and Al-Si alloys. It is validated in the buyer's melt-treatment process for hydrogen removal, inclusion control, lower porosity, dross behavior, and flux-based melt treatment where rotary or nitrogen degassing is not practical.

Where it is used

ADC12 and Al-Si die casting

Best suited for teams solving adc12 melt treatment with measurable plant validation and a clear production baseline.

Typical result to measure

Trial KPIs

  • Track hydrogen porosity in ADC12
  • Help separate inclusions from melt

When to choose KelviFlux UltraPure

A practical India-focused alternative for this use case

Choose KelviFlux UltraPure when you need local technical support, a controlled plant validation, and product guidance matched to Indian foundry operating conditions.

Made for Indian aluminum foundries

Useful for ADC12 and Al-Si alloy foundries looking for local melt-treatment support.

Rotary/nitrogen alternative

Evaluate when mechanical degassing equipment is unavailable, slow, or expensive to operate.

Validation-ready melt quality checks

Measure density index, porosity, inclusion level, dross behavior, and scrap rate during plant validation.

System Capabilities

Outcomes with KelviFlux UltraPure

Performance gains you can measure

Granular Degassing Flux

Free-flowing granules are designed for controlled aluminum melt-treatment validation by bell plunging or compatible flux injection methods. Record treatment time, melt temperature, dose, and dross behavior from the first batch.

65-80% Hydrogen-Reduction Benchmark

Defined melt-treatment validations have observed 65-80% hydrogen reduction. Validate the result with your preferred measurement method, such as density index, reduced-pressure testing, hydrogen measurement, porosity trend, or casting rejection data.

Oxide Inclusion Cleaning

The flux system helps separate oxide inclusions and move them into a skim-ready dross layer. Track inclusion level, hard spots, machining feedback, and dross dryness during validation.

Dosage Window Evaluation

Use a structured dose ladder to compare melt quality, dross generation, scrap impact, and cost per tonne. If porosity is found only after casting, the melt-treatment decision has already become scrap, machining loss, and delivery risk.

Al-Si Treatment Temperature Range

KelviFlux is positioned for common aluminum melt-treatment windows used in ADC12, LM6, A356, and related alloys. Confirm the exact operating window from the current TDS and plant validation data.

Anhydrous Handling Discipline

The product is supplied as an anhydrous flux and should be stored sealed in a dry area. Review SDS guidance, PPE, ventilation, and moisture-control practice before production use.

Process

How KelviFlux UltraPure works for this use case

A measured melt-treatment workflow for hydrogen, inclusions, dross, and dosage

1

Set the Baseline

Record alloy, charge mix, melt temperature, current degassing method, density index or RPT result, dross behavior, rejection trend, and any inclusion or machining issue before adding KelviFlux.

Technical Note:Baseline data prevents validation from becoming a simple before-and-after opinion.

2

Dose and Plunge Under Control

Add KelviFlux using the approved bell, lance, or injection method. Keep dose, treatment time, and melt temperature consistent across batches so the result can be compared fairly.

Technical Note:Dose should be set by charge cleanliness, alloy, furnace type, and the validation objective.

3

Allow Reaction and Separation

During treatment, the flux supports hydrogen transfer and oxide separation. After the planned treatment time, allow the melt to settle and skim the dross using the normal plant procedure.

Technical Note:Do not judge performance only by visible bubbling; use melt-quality measurements.

4

Measure Melt Quality and Scale

Compare density index, porosity, inclusions, dross dryness, scrap, and cost per tonne against the baseline. Scale only when repeat batches show stable improvement under plant conditions.

Technical Note:Results depend on melt cleanliness, furnace practice, alloy, temperature control, and dosage.

Flux-Based Hydrogen and Inclusion Control

Aluminum absorbs hydrogen during melting and handling, and oxides can remain suspended in the melt. KelviFlux uses an anhydrous salt carrier and active silico-fluoride chemistry to support gas transfer and inclusion separation during controlled treatment. The practical value should be confirmed with measured hydrogen or density-index data, visible dross behavior, inclusion checks, casting quality, and scrap trend under the foundry's own process window.

Best Practices

  • Follow recommended application rates strictly
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
  • Consult technical team for customized guidance
  • Monitor results and adjust as needed
