ELIDRON 201
Washing-degassing-cleansing tablets for Aluminium alloys
Product physical data
Appearance: Tablets
Tablets: 100 o 500 gr
Metal temperature range: >620 C
Description
Elidron 201 releases Nitrogen gas which is useful for
washing and degassing the molten alloy. Nitrogen gas
removes hydrogen entrapped by the metal during
melting operations and brings to bath surface all oxides,
micro-oxides and impurities. Elidron 201 tablets have a
combined effect. The tablets, dissolved by metal
temperature, release nitrogen gas capable to remove
hydrogen dissolved in the metal and non-metallic
impurities floating inside the bath. The chemical
compounds contained in the product are capable to
react with oxides and to clean the alloy from non-
metallic impurities. Elidron 201 is recommended for
degassing treatments of all Aluminium alloys in all types
of furnaces and pouring ladles. The product is not
suitable for aluminium-magnesium alloys with a content
of Magnesium above 3%. In this case we recommend
Elidron 208.
Method of use
Introduce Elidron 201 tablets in two stages to optimize
washing and degassing action. The tablets should be
preheated before use (for example on the top ring of the
furnace) to remove possible traces of moisture of the
product. Remove the drosses and plunge the tablets in
the metal using a perforated bell type plunger protected
with metkote 100. Avoid the lowest part of the bath. At
the end of tablets reaction, remove the plunger from the
bath and with the help of a scorifying flux, remove all
traces of drosses. Leave the metal resting for 10
minutes and start pouring. The amount of use is
normally 100-300 g for 100 kg of metal. At 720C, 1 kg
of Elidron 201 releases 350 litres of Nitrogen gas.

Important notice
The washing and degassing treatment with Elidron 201
should preferably follow the grain refining treatment in
order to help a perfect dispersion of crystallisation nuclei
formed by the grain refining agents.
Treatments frequency
Only the experience and the control of results can
determine how often treat the metal bath.
It is recommended, for foundries that maintain metal
level constant with additions of solid ingots and that
make frequent immersion of ladle bowls in the metal
bath, to repeat treatments with Elidron 201 every 60
minutes. If the holding furnace receives liquid charges, it
is sufficient to repeat the treatment after new additions
of metal.
Control of result
Gas and dross content can be controlled with the
Aluspeed or Gas Detector hydrogen tester. Foundry
operators can note the change of metal physical
properties of aluminium alloys treated with Elidron 201.
In particular: increased metal fluidity, improved metal
flow ability, improved casting surface finish before and
after machining and better mechanical workability.
Packaging and storage
100, 200, 250, 300 and 500 g tablets in boxes.
Warnings: The product is hygroscopic. Store in a dry
storage and away from heat sources. Close the
package after each use. If stored properly the product
has a shelf life exceeding 12 months.
