Salt for metal processing and aluminium recycling
Secondary aluminium smelters melt scrap under a salt flux, and heat-treatment shops use molten salt baths. Both buy sodium chloride in bulk.
Uses of salt in metal processing and aluminium recycling
- Aluminium recyclingSalt flux, typically sodium chloride with potassium chloride, in rotary furnaces.
- Salt-flux producersBlending and granulating fluxes for foundries.
- Heat treatmentNeutral salt baths for hardening and annealing.
- Metal finishingPickling and cleaning baths.
