Liquids analyzer Prefil®-Footprinter

aluminumprocessconcentration

The Prefil®-Footprinter measures the relative cleanliness of an aluminum melt by comparison with a benchmark inclusion level for a given alloy, a production process or a given stage in the process. The result is seen directly on a computer screen. The metal residue of the test can be saved and sent to ABB for metallographic analysis. Read more about Metallographic analysis Prefil® is the only inclusion analyzer that provides an immediate result and, at the same time, a sample for further metallographic analysis. These two qualities make the Prefil®-Footprinter a powerful solution for performing process control on a day-to-day basis, and/or on a more in-depth audit basis for process optimization. The Prefil®-Footprinter is simple to use and designed to survive the foundry floor. Its rugged construction is based on an open architecture that will give you access to improvements and upgrades over the long life expectancy of the instrument. The instrument is well engineered for process optimization and routine measurement by shop floor personnel. Application The Prefil®-Footprinter measures the relative cleanliness of an aluminum melt by comparison with a benchmark inclusion level for a given alloy, a production process or a given stage in the process. The system is based on the filtration of a liquid aluminum sample through a fine porous ceramic filter under strict conditions. The result of the test is a curve plot of the weight of metal filtered as a function of time. The result is seen directly on a computer screen integrated in the cabinet. Optionally, the metal residue of the test can be saved and sent to ABB for metallographic analysis.
