Abstract


The results of studies of aluminum saturation dynamics and its alloys with hydrogen in the technological scheme of the electrolytic aluminum to the casting assembly line in a steel plant RUSAL. It was shown that one of the basic aluminum melt saturation hydrogen source is its interaction with moisture of air in open metal modulations during its movement from the electrolyzer molds. According to a survey of proposed technical solutions to reduce the hydrogen concentration in the melt during further investigations.
