Melt Purification via Filtration

Abstract

Background on the mechanisms and kinetics of filtration is discussed and the Drexel mathematical model is further elaborated and updated to encompass filtration at the higher temperatures encountered in steels and superalloys. A novel mathematical analysis of inclusion trajectory is also presented. The aluminum-TiB2 study has been extended to evaluate a ceramic foam filter. A low temperature model study of liquid inclusion filtration is described and discussed. Reference is made to ongoing work in superalloy and steel filtration, counter-current gas filtration, filter characterization and flow visualization.
