Aluminium Quality Control

 

aluminium quality control bannerAluminium Testing Mould

There is no unique apparatus on the market that can be use for comprehensive qualitative assessment of aluminium melt. Therefore, combinations of several equipments have to be used for complete evaluation of the aluminium melt quality. The most common tools used in aluminium plants are as follows: [1] Tensile Bar Mould, [2] Spectrometer Tester Mould, [3] K-Mould, [4] Vacuum Porosity Tester.

Tensile Bar Mould    tensile mould mcan WM

This mould produces five tensile test bars, for use in mechanical testing of cast metal. The cooling rate of samples is simlilar to that produced in permanent casting moulds.

The moulds is designed for use with or without an insulating sleeve and is a very versatile tool for the evaluation of metal quality.


Spectrometer Tester Mould  spectrometer mould mcan WM

This mould, in cast iron or copper, is ideal for the production high quality, consistent samples for spectrographic analysis. Sampling metal for spectrographic analysis is not always straight forward.

This in turn can influence the response of the optical emissions spectrometer resulting in inconsistent results.


K-Mould                                                                                   Kmould mcan WM

This test measures coarse inclusions and gas bubbles statistically. A cleanliness index or K-factor gives a quantitative measure of defects per unit area.

The purpose of this equipment is to evaluate the macroliness of molten aluminium melt at production conditions.


Vacuum Porosity Tester

Vacuum Porosity Tester is a desktop quality product system for checking porous level in molten aluminium under vacuum condition. Design ideally for fast, repeatable and reliable, this can be placed next by furnaces for accurate on site monitoring of quality standard .

VPT 2017 250x250This unit performs qualitative analysis of gas content diluted in molten aluminium and give primarily condition of potential defects, such as: porosity, blow holes, which are major problems in producing aluminium casting products. Once it is noticeable, the further treatment can proceed to  ensure molten free of gas prior to casting.

Designed to run  testing process automatically as easy as pressing start button, achieve target vacuum level , hold vacuum at certain of time, the end the process by releasing fresh air into testing chamber, ready for next test.


Digital Vacuum Porosity Tester

For more accuracy and objective evaluation, Digital Vacuum Porosity Tester solve the problem of visual bias between one person with another person.

“BECAUSE THE NUMBER DON’T LIE.”

Foundries and die casting process depend on vacuum porosity test to assess gas and inclusions level in molten aluminium alloys. To quantify the results, however user must rely upon a visual comparison yields subjective results that maybe affected by biases in interpretation. To combat that subjectivity we develop equipment that will permit a 30 second measurement of the porosity of the vacuum porosity samples.


Hydrogen Content Analyzer

It is used on the shop floors of production foundries around the world, providing quantitative measurement in the melt within 5 minute of sampling.

Aside from its use as a quality control tool, the instrument can be also be used for the evaluation of melt treatments. Financial benefits also accrue from lower scrap rates and reduced energy and labour costs. These savings often allow the retrieval of the capital cost of the instrument in less than one year.
