HYSCAN II - Hydrogen Analysis in Molten Aluminum

The Only One of Its Kind in the World

The presence of hydrogen in molten aluminum creates significant challenges for casting and foundry industries, since high residual hydrogen content can lead to severe porosity after solidification, resulting in rejected parts or the risk of mechanical failure.

The H-Scan system enables a substantial improvement in both the quality and reliability of aluminum castings by allowing precise control of hydrogen content in molten aluminum just before casting. No over- or under-degassing. No rejects. No wasted time or money.

🔹 General Description

The H-Scan II is a molten aluminum hydrogen analyzer based on the Reduced Pressure Test (RPT) method.
It is designed to measure dissolved hydrogen gas in liquid aluminum to prevent porosity defects in cast products.
This is a widely used industrial reference system in foundries, recycling plants, and aluminum alloy production facilities.

Operating Principle

A sample of molten aluminum is taken and placed in a sealed chamber
The system reduces pressure inside the chamber
Dissolved hydrogen is released during solidification
The instrument measures the released gas volume
Results are expressed as cm³ of H₂ per 100 g of metal
Full analysis is completed in under 5 minutes

¿Qué es Análisis de Hidrógeno en Aluminio Fundido? El análisis de hidrógeno en aluminio fundido es un procedimiento metalúrgico que permite medir la cantidad de gas hidrógeno disuelto en el aluminio líquido antes de que se solidifique.

¿Por qué es importante medir el hidrógeno? El hidrógeno es el único gas que se disuelve significativamente en el aluminio líquido.
Cuando el metal se enfría y solidifica, el hidrógeno ya no puede permanecer disuelto, y forma burbujas microscópicas dentro de la pieza. Estas burbujas provocan porosidad interna, lo que reduce la resistencia mecánica, la estanqueidad y la calidad superficial de las piezas fundidas. Por eso, conocer la cantidad de hidrógeno presente en el baño metálico es fundamental para asegurar la calidad final del producto.

What are crucibles, standards, accelerators, and consumables for Carbon and Sulfur? Crucibles, standards, accelerators, and consumables are fundamental components in the carbon and sulfur analysis process. They ensure complete combustion, accurate measurement, and reliable calibration of the equipment with each use.

⚙️ Elements and consumables for Carbon and Sulfur analyzers

🔹 1. Crucibles (Ceramic Crucibles)

Crucibles are high-temperature-resistant ceramic containers used to hold the sample during combustion in the analyzer’s high-frequency furnace.

- They are made from high-purity ceramic (usually alumina and silica).
- They withstand temperatures above 2000°C.
- They do not react with the sample or oxygen, ensuring clean combustion.
- They are disposable, as each analysis requires a new crucible to avoid cross-contamination.

👉 Without the crucible, the sample could not be properly fused, and accurate C and S measurements would not be possible.

🔹 2. Standards

Standards or Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are reference samples with known concentrations of carbon and sulfur.

They are used to:

- Calibrate the analyzer before use
- Verify measurement accuracy
- Adjust the analyzer’s calibration curves

Example: a steel standard with 0.05% C and 0.01% S is used to verify that the instrument measures these values correctly.

👉 They ensure traceability and compliance with international standards (ASTM, ISO, etc.).

🔹 3. Accelerator

The accelerator is a solid substance (usually iron, tungsten, or tin) that is mixed with the sample in the crucible before combustion.

Its function is to increase the melting temperature and oxidation rate, ensuring that all carbon and sulfur in the sample are fully released as gases.

For materials with low thermal conductivity (such as ceramics or minerals), the accelerator is essential for complete and accurate combustion. It is added in small quantities together with the solid sample.

👉 Without the accelerator, results may be lower or incomplete.

🔹 4. Consumables

Consumables are all materials that are used up during each analysis or periodic maintenance, including:

Ceramic crucibles
Accelerators (Fe, Sn, W, etc.)
Filters, tubes, seals, and O-rings
Calibration standards
Cleaning paper, brushes, tweezers, and optical protectors

👉 These consumables are essential to maintain accuracy, system cleanliness, and result repeatability.
