Abstract

In this research, a flux based on local salts will be made from, Na2SO4 and NaCl. The result of this research is that the fluidity of recovered aluminum with flux at temperatures of 660oC and 620oC is 1 kg and 0.87 kg, respectively, while the fluidity of aluminum without flux at temperatures of 660oC and 620oC is 0.34 kg and 0.18 kg, respectively. The tensile test results show that recovered aluminum with flux at temperatures of 660oC and 620oC has an average tensile strength of 174.45 MPa and 176.77 MPa, respectively, while aluminum without flux at a temperature of 660oC and 620oC has an average tensile strength, respectively, of 148.4 MPa and 157.2 MPa. The impact test data shows that aluminum with flux at a temperature of 660oC and 620oC has average impact strength of 13 J and 18 J, respectively, while aluminum without flux at a temperature of 660oC and 620oC has an average impact strength of 8 J and 12 J, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of cleaning flux on aluminum can reduce oxide inclusions and improve the mechanical properties of AC3A aluminium.
