Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove efficiently Fe from molten Al-base metal in a short time by immersing a molded body consisting of Mn or Al-Mn alloy particles and a flux for molten Al-base metal in said molten Al-base metal. CONSTITUTION:A mixture of Mn or Al-Mn alloy particles of high purity with a flux for molten Al (Al alloy) is press-molded. This molded body is immersed in molten Al (Al alloy) contg. Fe as an impurity. A stirring effect is caused in the molten metal by the action of the flux to bring the Mn particles in the molded body into contact with Fe in the molten metal. An intermetallic Al-Mn-Fe compound is produced by the contact, and after settling and separating the compound, molten Al (Al alloy) having a reduced Fe content is recovered.

An example of a known iron removal method that has been proposed to solve this problem is to remove iron in a molten aluminum alloy containing iron as an impurity in an amount approximately equal to or equal to the amount of iron contained in the aluminum alloy. Adding aluminum-manganese alloy particles containing slightly more manganese to generate an aluminum-manganese-iron intermetallic compound having a higher specific gravity than the molten aluminum alloy, and maintaining the molten metal at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, The above-mentioned aluminum-manganese-iron intermetallic compound is allowed to settle and separate at the bottom of the melting furnace, and the upper molten metal containing less iron is pumped up and used.

However, it takes a considerable amount of time to bring the particles of the aluminum-manganese alloy into sufficient contact with the molten metal to form an aluminum-manganese-iron intermetallic compound, and it also takes a considerable amount of time to bring the particles of the aluminum-manganese alloy into contact with the molten metal. At this time, impurities such as oxides on the surface of the °C molten metal may adhere to particles and mix into the molten metal, preventing the sedimentation and separation of aluminum-manganese-iron intermetallic compounds from being performed well. There was a problem that iron removal was not carried out.

The above object of the present invention is to press a mixture of high-purity manganese particles or aluminum-manganese alloy particles and flux (powder) for molten aluminum or aluminum alloy to form a tablet-shaped compact, and to form this compact into a tablet-like compact. This is accomplished by immersing the body in a molten aluminum alloy containing iron as an impurity.

以下、実施例に基づき具体的に説明する。Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on examples.

[Example 1] 70 parts of manganese metal particles having a purity of 99.7% and a particle size of about 1 to 3 ml, and 140% by weight of NaC, K
A mixture of 30 parts of a flux for molten aluminum alloy consisting of 40% Cl and 20% KF is placed in a cylindrical mold, and a pressure of about 1500 kg/cm is applied to the mold to produce a tablet-shaped molded body. In this case, the purity of manganese should be higher, but from the viewpoint of economical availability, the purity of manganese may be 99% or more.

In addition, the size of the manganese particles should be in the range of about 0.1 to 5 fl, since if it is too large, it will damage the mold when pressure-molded with powder flux, and if it is too small, it will have a greater tendency to dissolve in the molten aluminum. Desirably, it may be about 1 to 3 times.

Moreover, regarding the blending ratio of manganese particles and powder flux, the flux is approximately 20 to 60% by weight. If the amount of flux is too large, the press-molded body will float to the surface of the molten aluminum, while if it is too small, the moldability will deteriorate and the stirring and purifying effects of the molten metal will be reduced.

On the other hand, 100 kg of 12Si-aluminum secondary alloy for aluminum die casting containing 1.5% iron was melted in a melting furnace, and the amount of iron contained in the molten metal was slightly higher than that contained in the aluminum alloy. Particles of aluminum-manganese alloy containing manganese are added to form an aluminum-manganese-iron intermetallic compound having a higher specific gravity than the molten aluminum alloy, and the molten metal is held at 610'c. When iron is removed by the conventionally known method of allowing the intermetallic compounds to settle and separate at the bottom of the melting furnace and then recovering the upper molten metal with a reduced iron content, the amount of manganese added also depends on the weight of the molten metal. Although it took about 4 hours to perform sedimentation and separation, the amount of residual iron in the recovered alloy was only 0.51% on average, and the recovery rate of the molten metal was also low. The average was about 60%.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the present invention requires less manganese than conventionally known methods, and it is possible to lower the amount of residual iron in the recovered aluminum alloy. This improves the recovery rate of the molten metal by about 20%, and significantly shortens the time for sedimentation and separation, and also prevents oxides from being drawn into the molten metal (the flux naturally purifies the molten metal).

It is possible to remove iron as an impurity from an aluminum alloy very efficiently and at low cost.
