• Effects of CO2 cover gas and yttrium additions on the oxidation of AlMg alloys 

      Smith, Nicholas Albert; Gleeson, Brian; wissam, saidi; Kvithyld, Anne; Tranell, Gabriella (Chapter, 2019)
      AlMg alloys are known to suffer from problematic oxidation that can result in significant dross formation and loss of Mg from the melt. Historically, beryllium has been used to minimize the oxidation as it forms a protective ...
    • Mechanism behind the Inhibiting Effect of CO2 on the Oxidation of Al−Mg Alloys 

      Smith, Nicholas Albert; Gleeson, Brian; wissam, saidi; Kvithyld, Anne; Tranell, Gabriella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Al–Mg alloys are known to suffer from problematic oxidation during melting, refining, and casting. The use of a CO2/air cover gas is known to minimize this oxidation; however, a mechanistic understanding of the beneficial ...
    • Oxidation of Al-Mg alloys in small scale experiments 

      Skramstad, Magnus; Smith, Nicholas Albert; Kvithyld, Anne; Syvertsen, Martin (Research report, 2019)
      While a significant amount of work has been done on the oxidation of Al-Mg alloys a limited portion of the work has been done under a true furnace atmosphere created by an air-fuel or oxyfuel burner. A series of oxidation ...
