Slag Holding
Slag Holding
Slag Holding is used for removing slag from molten metal. It is in the form of Granules. It is used in Cupola Furnace, Induction Furnace & Pouring ladle.
characteristics and features
Slag Holding Compound – 3G is a flux for Slag Coagulation. It is in Granular form and is used in
Induction Furnace as well as in Ladles.
mechanism
Slag Holding Compound – 3G reacts with the slag & thickens the slag to form a spongy agglomerate
which can be skimmed off. The formation of Spongy Agglomerates depends on Expansion
(cc) when Slag Holding Compound reacts with slag.
Method Of Using
Slag Holding Compound – 3G being in granular form, can be sprinkled evenly on the surface of
molten metal & later the slag layer formed on the surface of the metal can be skimmed off.
The recommended addition level is 1.5% – 2.0% which depends on the cleanliness of the metal.
Salient Features
Higher Expansion (18-22 cc)
Advantages
• High Expansion (18-22 cc) reduces the addition level substantially.
• Maximum coverage on liquid metal.
• Increases metal fluidity.
• Improves cleanliness of metal.
• Reduces temperature drop.
• Reduces casting % rejection due to cold shut & slag at Foundry stage & Machining stage.
Storage
Keep in a dry place and away from moisture.
Shelf Life
One year from the date of manufacture.
Packing
One year from the date of 50 kg in the alkaline bag.
