Abstract
Problems with the yield during Mn alloy additions and the occurrence of undissolved Mn rich phases in as cast material containing Ti is the background to the present study of the dissolution of Mn compacts in aluminum melts.
The dissolution rate of Mn in liquid aluminum, have been studied in pure Al and in Al-0.12%Ti melts. It was found that Ti additions to the melt decreased the dissolution rate of Mn compacts. It was also shown that the intermediate phases formed at the interface between Mn and liquid aluminum was different after small Ti additions. Moreover, an undissolved Mn briquette, found after casting in a furnace, was examined and the conditions for this to happen have been discussed. The discussion was based on calculations of heat balances during the initial dissolution steps and studies of the transformations occurring within the briquette.
