    Abstract: Pellets or briquettes contg. a pre-alloy or metal and employed in the prodn. of aluminium alloys contain in addn. to the finely divided metal or pre-alloy, a flux which evolves gas when placed in the molten bath of metal. The wt. ratio of metal to flux is pref. between 1:1 and 20:1, and the pref. flux is eiher (a) a halo-hydrocarbon which is solid at room temp. esp. hexachloroethane; or (b) a salt mixt. of alkali (ne earth) metal(s) and/or aluminium, at least one salt evolving gas in the molten bath. Simplifies the addn. and dissolution of alloying elements such as Mn, Cu, Fe, Si, Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, Bi, Cd, Zr, Be or B in molten aluminium to obtain the correct compsn. prior to casting despite differences in density and/or slow dissolution speeds. The rapid and uniform distribution of the allowing element(s) throughout the bath, obviates the slow and arduous hand stirring previously necessary.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the precise and continuous injection of a halogenated derivative, which is liquid at ambient temperature, into a liquid metal such as aluminum and aluminum-based alloys. The process involves withdrawing the halogenated substance from a tank, introducing it by means of a metering pump into a vaporizer which has been brought to a temperature at least equal to the vaporization temperature of the substance under the injection pressure, and entraining it in the vapor state by an inert gas stream towards an injection means opening into the center of the liquid metal.
