| Resumen |
In magnesium and magnesium alloy smelting and refining, use is made of protective atmospheres (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, sulfur dioxide) or of a molten salt flux to prevent furnace fires or oxidation of the liquid metal. The correct choice of atmosphere or molten salt entails an intimate knowledge of possible reactions between molten magnesium and the furnace atmosphere. This article reports on experiments designed to explore the possibility of replacing inert gases by sulfur hexafluoride. The initial results indicate that this gas provides a shigh level of safety and that it can be used economically in view of the low concentration required to produce a protective atmosphere. |
