The uses of aluminum fluoride (AlF3) cover multiple industrial fields, as follows:
Metallurgical Industry
1. Electrolytic aluminum production: As a flux, it can lower the melting point of alumina, enhance the conductivity of the electrolyte, and improve the production efficiency and quality of aluminum.
In the cryolite alumina electrolysis system, it is an indispensable raw material for regulating the molecular ratio and thermal balance of the electrolyte in aluminum electrolysis.
2. Non ferrous metal smelting: used as a flux for smelting non-ferrous metals such as copper and magnesium, optimizing the smelting process.
Ceramic and glass manufacturing
1. Ceramic glaze: used as a flux to enhance the glossiness, strength, and weather resistance of ceramics.
2. Glass production: Reduce the melting temperature of glass, improve transparency and durability.
Welding and Optics
1. Welding aid: used as a flux to remove metal surface oxides and improve welding quality.
2. Optical materials: used for manufacturing UV compatible camera lenses, optical lenses, and fiber optic substrates.
Other industrial applications
1. Organic synthesis: Participate in organic reactions as a catalyst, such as synthesizing cryolite.
2. Alcohol production: Inhibit side fermentation effects and optimize the alcohol production process.
3. Refrigerant production: used for the synthesis of fluorinated refrigerants.
