degassing degassing
(dēgas´ing),
adj related to degasification, the process by which dissolved gas is removed from water or other liquid solutions. system for removal of hydrogen gas from aluminum alloys. It features single-unit construction and an air-driven motor to eliminate electrical lines and wall-mounted control panels. Designed for use with most types of aluminum melting furnaces, the system uses environmentally safe degassing agents such as nitrogen and argon argon (är`gŏn) [Gr.,=inert], gaseous chemical element; symbol Ar; at. no. 18; at. wt. 39.948; m.p. −189.2°C;; b.p. −185.7°C;; density 1.784 grams per liter at STP; valence 0. . The rotary action of this unit provides clean, safe and fast removal of hydrogen porosity porosity /po·ros·i·ty/ (por-os´it-e) the condition of being porous; a pore.

po·ros·i·ty
n.
1. The state or property of being porous.

2. and assures consistent, repeatable levels of quality aluminum.
