Abstract

Ultrasonic treatment of aluminium melts is known as an efficient process to remove dissolved hydrogen. Whereas the degassing efficiency of ultrasonic treatment has been extensively reported, the effect of re-gassing after the ultrasonic treatment is much less studied. The present investigation attempts to evaluate the effect of artificial re-gassing of aluminium melts after ultrasonic treatment was applied. The results show an increase in porosity after artificial re-gassing after ultrasonic treatment compared to artificial gassing before the ultrasonic treatment was applied. An increase in potent nucleation sites for gas porosity after ultrasonic treatment by unfolding and/or break-up of bifilms is supposed.
