• Coalescence of Clean, Coated, and Decoated Aluminum for Various Salts, and Salt–Scrap Ratios 

      Capuzzi, Stefano; Kvithyld, Anne; Timelli, Giulio; Nordmark, Arne; Gumbmann, Eva Maria; Engh, Thorvald Abel (Journal article, 2018)
      In a rotary furnace for aluminum recycling and dross treatment, a salt flux covers the molten metal to prevent new oxidation and to capture oxides, and impurities contained in the scrap. Furthermore, the salt must promote ...
    • Discussion of bi-film index and LiMCA data in industrial aluminum remelting trials 

      Kvithyld, Anne; Sæter, Jan Anders; Syvertsen, Martin; Fossheim, Harry; Nordmark, Arne; Sottar, Ronny; Engh, Thorvald Abel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The trend in the aluminum high end market is to set unrealistic quality requirements e.g. inclusion free metal. The importance of quality and the ability to measure is growing. LiMCA is a unique, well-established tool for ...
    • Interfacial microstructure formation in A356/steel compound castings using metal coating 

      Bakke, Aina Opsal; Nordmark, Arne; Arnberg, Lars; Li, Yanjun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Compound castings between aluminum and steel have great potential for applications in the automotive industry. However, due to large differences in thermal and mechanical properties between steel and aluminum, and the ...
    • Sn-Aided Joining of Cast Aluminum and Steel Through a Compound Casting Process 

      Bakke, Aina Opsal; Nordmark, Arne; Arnberg, Lars; Li, Yanjun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Obtaining a strong bond between aluminum and steel is challenging due to poor wettability between aluminum melt and steel and brittle intermetallic phases forming in the interface. In this research, a novel coating method, ...
