Dissolution Rate of Stationary Solid Copper Cylinder into Molten Al-Cu and Mg-Cu Alloys.

Abstract

In order to provide the fundamental data for the removal of copper from ferrous scrap by metallic bath immersion process, the dissolution rates of stationary copper cylinder into molten Al-Cu and Mg-Cu baths were measured as a function of temperature and the composition of molten bath. Furthermore, kinetic analysis was conducted with respect to mass transfer and diffusion coefficients.
