A novel method was introduced to investigate oxidation behavior of melts in different conditions such as flux, alloying element, atmosphere, etc. This approach was based on rheology properties of melts, in which by tracing viscosity variations during oxidation, the behavior of melt can be explored. A modified falling ball viscometer was proposed and used for viscometry. Oxidation of aluminum and Al-Mg alloys was studied using this method. According to the results, it was found that this method was not only a proper approach for investigating oxidation behavior but also could be used as a compliment along conventional approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
