Cleanliness of aluminium alloys has a decisive effect on their properties and performance. In this work, melts of several Al-Mg-Si alloys (6xxx series) were refined using rotary flux injection (RFI) of salt fluxes in the industrial environment. During injection, the whole melt volume was uniformly mixed. The melt was filtered using a porous ring filtration apparatus. The fraction and type of non-metallic inclusions were then determined using light and scanning electron microscopy. The contents of alkaline and alkaline-earth metals were determined using optical emission spectroscopy. The reduction of alkaline and alkaline earth metals and the fraction of non-metallic inclusions were used to evaluate the process efficiency and flux selection. An analysis of more than 100 industry charges confirms the accuracy of the selection.
