Fluxes

As the demand for higher quality and improved reliability of casting products increases, it has become more and more important to obtain high-quality molten metal by removing hydrogen gas and inclusions or by applying molten metal treatment centered on improving the quality of alloys in recent years. Fluxes are added for the purpose of improving the quality of molten metal, which is the first process of aluminum casting and are used by our customers.
