Steel or Aluminum Melt Filter Made of Reactive Ceramic

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a ceramic filter designed for use in steel or aluminum production, where the filter is made from reactive ceramic material. Unlike conventional metal melt filters, the surface of this filter actively reacts with dissolved gases and/or metallic impurities in the molten metal, removing or neutralizing them as the metal passes through.
