Notes:
In this paper, a new low-pressure die-casting with degassing function, casting underadjusted pressure (CAP), is proposed. The working principle of CAP process is introduced in details.This paper focuses on the influences of moisture of compressed air on the hydrogen content within themelt aluminum during the cyclic vacuum-pressurizing programs for CAP process. The experimentalresults indicate that degassing under vacuum acts positive in refining aluminum melt. The relativemoisture of compressed air exerts a significant influence on the hydrogen content of aluminum melt.After the melt aluminum is exposed to the air with a relative moisture of 85% for 90 min, thehydrogen content of the melt aluminum can get to 0.4 ml/100g/Al; while under the circumstance ofCAP process, the hydrogen content is maintained between 0.05 and 0.15 ml/100g/Al depending onthe moisture capacity of the air, which virtually has no more influence on the casting qualities. Underthe condition of dry compressed air, the hydrogen content can be kept at a level as low as0.05ml/100g/Al, which facilitates to obtain high air-tightness castings
