Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a flux injector assembly and method for refining a molten material, wherein at least a portion of the material is aluminum, as it flows through a trough. A dispensing rod having a hollow body and a dispensing rim is configured to allow a flux and/or inert gas to travel through the hollow body and be injected into the molten material through the dispensing rim as the molten material flows through the trough. A baffle plate is configured to be positioned within the molten material in the associated trough to allow the molten material to flow passed the baffle plate. The elongated dispensing rod is positioned at a downstream location relative to the baffle plate. The rate of flow of molten material is increased as it passes the dispensing rim of the elongated dispensing rod to inject and mix the flux within the molten aluminum alloy.
