| Abstract Scope |
In the continuous casting of magnesium, still the use of water for cooling is common practice, which is a severe risk in the event of a malfunction. The ILTEC Technology with the ionic liquid IL-B2001 as a cooling medium can provide a remedy, because of the non-explosive reactions but efficient cooling properties.
Proven in tests by pumping the ionic liquid in molten magnesium and supported by long years’ experience of cooling applications all over in the non-ferrous as well as iron and steel industry, ILTEC can provide a more safe casting for operators as well as the equipment.
The paper is intended to describe the ILTEC Technology and to answer FAQs, with the special focus of implementation of the safe and water free technology in the magnesium industry. |
