A refining agent for
copper and
copper alloy smelting is characterized in that the components of the refining agent are 5 to 15 percent by weight of
calcium fluoride, 1 to 5 percent by weight of
silicon dioxide, 1 to 5 percent by weight of
titanium dioxide, 2 to 10 percent by weight of
sodium fluosilicate, 40 to 60 percent by weight of
sodium carbonate and the balance
sodium tetraborate; the refining agent materials are weighed according to a formula, uniformly mixed, placed into a
drying box and dried under 120 DEG C for an hour, and a metallographic inlaying
machine is used for manually pressing the refining agent into the shape of a sheet. The refining agent has the advantages that the refining agent is integrated with the functions of
deoxidization,
degasification,
impurity removal and the like, and has strong adsorbing, dissolving and combination slagging capabilities; the
surface tension between the refining agent and
metal melt is high, the refining agent can promote
molten slag to float up, so that the
molten slag can be better separated from
molten metal, and thereby the effects of refining,
impurity removal and melt purification are achieved; the refining agent has high
chemical stability and
thermal stability, does not have the
corrosion effect on
metal and the furnace lining, and cannot chemically react with the
molten metal, the refining agent and the
molten metal cannot be melted into each other as well, and thereby the original composition and properties of
alloy are guaranteed; and the refining agent does not have public
hazard, is safe and environment-friendly, is convenient to use, and is cheap.
