A novel technology of hydrogen measurement based on directional solidification in molten aluminum alloy
Hydrogen is a harmful element in aluminum. How to accurately measure hydrogen content in molten aluminum alloy has been significant for improving the metallurgical qualities of aluminum products. Currently, Reduced Pressure Test (RPT) based on the famous Sievert’ law is the most commonly used method to measure the hydrogen in aluminum. However, due to the changes in solidification morphology of alloys under different solidification conditions, hydrogen will be closed more or less in the sample by the developed dendrites, which results in the dispersion of test results. According to the principle of solute redistribution, an improved reduced pressure technology under directional solidification was proposed in this paper. The solidification interface was pushed on along the single direction by controlling the temperature gradient of solid-liquid interface. Hydrogen is released in front of the solid-liquid interface through the solute redistribution. The result shows that the hydrogen content increases and the mean variance decreases with the increasing of the temperature gradients. The method was proved to be of higher accuracy.
