Best casting practices for ALMAG 35

Make sure you have sodium free flux. Riser and gate like AA-713 Tenzaloy, hold at low temperatures, 1280-1300. raise to pouring temperature before pouring, use a grain refiner like Ti-Boron 5%-1% to improve fluidity and prevent shrinkage, use a drossing off flux to keep dross dry and not allow too much mag to be skimmed off. Foseco used to make a 180 tablet which worked. Probat-Fluss also had a sodium free-hexafluoride flux. A rotary degasser with N2 works good since it produces small bubbles. A large rolling boil with N2 IS NOT GOOD like you do for 356. Avoid holding overnight and use at least a 50-60% ingot charge. Do not only charge with remely. Too much Mag is lost. Good luck. I's not too bad to work with but like Tenzaloy it's a dog until you get the proper materials and understand that you have to respect it
