Popis: PoDFA, widely used in Aluminium cast houses to monitor the concentration of non-metallic inclusions, takes a two-step approach. An initial filtration step increases the particle concentration to a level suitable for the subsequent metallographic investigation of the solidified filter cake, giving information on the amount and nature of the inclusions present. The filtration step is generally done on-site using the PoDFA equipment, but equipment availability or operational difficulties may make it necessary to apply the “Cold PoDFA” procedure. Here the liquid metal is solidified on-site and remelted offline before filtration.
