Aluminium Cast House Technology : Theory and Practice - Fifth Australasian-Asian Pacific Conference

This is the fifth in a series of conference proceedings that have brought together presentations by international contributors experienced in aluminium cast house technology.

This book addresses the needs of primary aluminium producers as well as the foundry industry on such areas of technology as furnace melting and refractories, melt treatment, and casting.

Coverage includes: furnace safety; achieving the best performance from a cast house; recycling investigation of the efficiency of filtration systems; dross reduction through improved metal transfer from crucible to furnace; and increasing safety through automatic casting.

The collection of papers is from the Fifth Australasian-Asian Pacific Conference on Aluminum Cast House Technology held in the Gold Coast, Australia, June 9-12, 1997.
