Abstract

The protective effects of C2H2F4 mixed gases in melting process of magnesium and magnesium alloys have been researched experimentally for the first time. And the mechanisms of protection have been analyzed. The results show that the protective atmosphere of air containing 0.3% C2H2F4 acts fairly protective effect. The thicker the C2H2F4 concentration and the lower the temperature, the better the protection effect. The C2H2F4 mixed gases react with the magnesium melt and form a compact protective film made up of MgO and MgF2 on the melt surface which acts the protective effect.
