Problems solved by technology

[0003] Since the liquid aluminum-lithium alloy dissolves the existing industrially used refractory materials, the purification methods commonly used in the modern aluminum processing industry, such as refining outside the furnace using graphite rotors and filtering with ceramic filters, cannot be used for aluminum-lithium alloys; At present, the main method of purifying the aluminum-lithium alloy melt is to put it in the furnace to draw a low vacuum, then fill it with argon, and stir the melt with argon blowing. This method has low purification efficiency, low efficiency of hydrogen removal, especially slag removal, and large consumption of argon. ; therefore, the metallurgical quality of the ingot cannot be guaranteed
