Argon, an inert gas, can provide an excellent barrier to oxidation of the melt surface.

Nitrogen |
Nitrogen, like argon, can provide a barrier to oxidation of the melt surface. For alloys that are not sensitive to nitrogen pick-up, nitrogen can be a very cost effective gas to blanket melt surfaces.

Inert Gas Blanketing Systems |
Our patented vortex sprayer or swirl cone technologies can help you blanket your melt surface and lower your operating costs. Both technologies help prevent metal oxidation and gas pick-up by displacing the atmospheric oxygen and water vapor with a dry and inert argon or nitrogen atmosphere. By reducing oxygen concentrations above the melt to as low as 1%, we can help you: reduce alloy costs, reduce slag volumes, reduce inclusions and casting porosity, improve metal fluidity and casting yields, improve surface finish and machinability, increase lining/crucible life.
