ABSTRACT:
A method for introducing grain refiners into molten media, such as molten aluminum, utilizes a chamber having a discharge immersed in the molten media and having a plasma therein extending from the molten media at the chamber discharge to a site above the discharge. Grain refiner is provided to said site and converted into a superheated spray for introduction into the media. An alternate embodiment includes supplying one or more constituents of a grain refiner compound to the plasma for reaction to form the grain refiner. A gas exits the chamber and enhances introduction into the media.
