Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the production method of aluminum-zirconium alloy is now mostly adopting the fusion method, which is to use high-purity metal zirconium and aluminum in fusion, this method is not easy to operate, the burning loss is serious, the alloy composition is easy to segregate, and the production process of pure metal zirconium is complicated. , the metal yield is low, and the cost is expensive
In addition, potassium fluorozirconate aluminothermic reduction method is used. The production process of potassium fluorozirconate used in this method is long, the metal yield is low, and the cost is high, and the fluoride remaining in the alloy also seriously affects the performance of the alloy.
