Abstract: There is provided a tundish with a basin and a baffle module. The baffle module is positioned inside the basin such it is the inlet of the tundish which receives a flow of molten alloy. The baffle module includes walls having a first height that is greater than the level of the molten alloy in the tundish, an opening in one of the walls to allow the molten alloy to exit an interior space defined by the walls, and at least one slag baffle extending from one of the walls to a wall of the basin, the at least one slag baffle having a second height that is smaller than the first height and smaller than the level of the molten alloy in the tundish. The slag baffle is positioned such that the flow of the molten alloy passes through the slag baffle to reach an outlet of the tundish.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns aluminum conductor alloys having increased creep resistance, aluminum products comprising same and process using same. In some embodiments, the aluminum conductor alloy comprises, in weight percent: up to about 0.10 Si; up to about 0.5 Fe; up to about 0.30 Cu; between about 0.02 and about 0.1 Mg; up to about 0.04 B; and the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides Al—Si—Mg aluminum alloys comprising a deliberate addition of Mn between 0.05-0.40 weight percent to increase at least one tensile property (such as the yield strength) of an aluminum product comprising such alloy. The Al—Si—Mg alloy comprises, in weight percent, 5-9% Si, 0.35-0.75% Mg, 0.05-0.4% Mn, less than 0.15% Fe, up to 0.15% Ti, 0.005-0.03% Sr and the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, wherein the unavoidable impurities may be present in an amount of up to 0.05% each and up to 0.15% total. The present disclosure provides a foundry ingot comprising the above Al—Si—Mg aluminum alloy, a process for making the above Al—Si—Mg aluminum alloy and an aluminum alloy obtainable by said process.
