Title
Guidelines for Handling Molten Aluminum
The Aluminum Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2002
Scope:
These Guidelines were prepared for use by all personnel concerned or
associated with activities
involving molten aluminum, and particularly for those involved in
everyday plant operations. All
major steps in melting, treating, transferring, and casting molten
aluminum and its alloys
(excluding pot line operations in reduction plants) are
discussed.(Footnote *) Dross processing
operations and equipment are not discussed.
Emphasis is placed on large-scale melting and casting practices for
the production of process
ingot. Slabs or billets are subsequently mechanically worked into
forms such as sheet, plate, foil,
forgings, extrusions, or T-bars, sow and Remelt Scrap Ingot (RSI).
These are then remelted at
another site. More attention is also given to scrap melting
operations.
Terminology used in these guidelines reflects that employed in the
industry.
Footnote * - Details are not given on operating practices for
proprietary melting, melt treatment,
and casting systems. Information on specific safety procedures should
be sought from vendors of
these systems. For additional details of safe practices in foundries,
refer to Safe Requirements
for Melting and Pouring of Metals in the Metal Casting Industry,
prepared by the American Foundry
Society.
