Low gas content



  • Hydrogen quantification (ppm) in pure Al (4N-5N) or Al alloys finished products has become compulsory to guarantee high quality of 5N product.

  • A low content (< 0.08-0.10 ppm H2) is the demonstration that casting processes are correctly mastered.

  • This is necessary to prevent or reduce the formation of microshrinkages or microporosities in the as-cast products.

  • Pechiney High Purity has developped a specific technique able to measure accurately the gas content in solid products (see Hydrogen measurement).
