Abstract

The characteristics of types of process of liquation refining of metal melts from impurity elements is given. Efficiency of extraction- crystallization-liquation refining (ECL-process) of magnesium melts with use of additive elements is shown. The results of experimental studies on the refining of magnesium from metal impurities using additives Ti, Zr and Mn are in good agreement with the calculated data.

The highest efficiency of ECL-process of refining is achieved when cleaning of magnesium from impurities of iron by titanium additives.
