Effect of Sodium-Containing Fluxes on the Residual Sodium Content and Distribution in Al–Mg Alloys

To get an insight into the residual sodium content of Al–Mg alloys, three types of sodium-containing fluxes were introduced into the melt with different magnesium content. The increment, existing form and distribution of sodium in Al–Mg alloys with different magnesium content were analyzed. The results show that the influence of different sodium salts on the increment of sodium in Al–10Mg alloy is significantly different. The NaF raised the sodium level in Al–10Mg alloy to the highest extent, Na3AlF6 coming second, and NaCl did not have an obvious influence. The magnesium element in the aluminum melt was found to be the key factor leading to the increment of sodium level. After the salt fluxing treatment of aluminum alloy with different magnesium content, this increment would be proportional to the content of magnesium. EDS mapping indicates the sodium introduced by the fluxes was distributed in the form of Na-rich particles in Al–Mg alloys and preferentially located near Al3Mg2(β) phase in the situation of high magnesium content.
