Abstract
The usage of secondary aluminum has a large volume in the industry due to the economic benefits. The effect of degassing on the melt quality, microstructure, and mechanical properties of secondary alloys was studied in this article. Fluidity and melt quality are having important roles on mold filling. Fluidity was examined with new design mold, and melt quality was determined by bifilm index (BI) via using reduces press test (RPT). In summary, the relationship between melt quality, mechanical properties, and fluidity has been investigated. Inverse ratios were observed between bifilm index and fluidity distance. The aspect ratio is constant at all parameters. Degassing was sufficient to increase the fluidity.
