[0002] In the production of cast aluminum alloy wheels, the purity of the raw material aluminum liquid is crucial to the casting production of wheels. If the purity of the aluminum liquid is low, the wheels produced will have more defects due to the presence of more inclusions, and the mechanical properties and bending fatigue properties of the wheels will decrease, eventually leading to product test failures, increased scrapping, and higher production costs for enterprises.

[0003] The casting machine is the last link in the wheel casting production. The raw material aluminum liquid is added to the casting machine after refining, slag removal, degassing, and standing. The initial aluminum liquid quality is relatively pure, but as time goes on, the aluminum liquid in the casting machine is constantly exposed to oxygen in the air, generating more alumina inclusions, and the inclusion content gradually increases. However, since the casting machine is in continuous production and the furnace door is small, it is difficult to degas and deslag inside the aluminum liquid. At present, the effective way to reduce the inclusions in the aluminum liquid is generally to add a filter screen to the liquid riser to filter the inclusions, but the smaller inclusions inside the aluminum liquid of the casting machine still cannot be completely filtered.
