	Process for the preparation of calcium aluminates from aluminum dross residues - Patent 5407459
		Such dross is normally treated either by a plasma or in a conventional furnace with a salt mixture, to remove recoverable aluminum metal, leaving a dross residue having reduced aluminum content.
		The actual way in which the aluminum is removed from the dross affects the nature and composition of the dross residue and, to a certain extent, the way in which the dross residues should be treated before it is used in the process of the present invention.
		A more conventional way of treating aluminum dross to remove contained aluminum is to heat the dross in a conventional furnace with a salt mixture which reduces the surface tension of the molten aluminum and causes the aluminum droplets to coalesce.

	Method of processing hot dross of aluminum resulting from an aluminum smelting process and a deoxidant obtained from ...
		Thereafter, the hot dross of aluminum is subject to mechanical stirring so that molten aluminum residing in the hot dross in the form of droplets covered with the low protective oxide layer is removed the oxide layer therefrom and divided from the removed low protective oxide layer.
		Further, since the hot dross after the aluminum content is removed is in a powder state and so has a large amount of surface area, where the hot dross is cooled for a long period of time in the atmosphere, metal aluminum residing in the hot dross reacts with oxygen and nitrogen.
		Since the hot dross 4 is gradually compressed by application of the impact load, the hammer mechanism 11 has a pair of hydraulic cylinders 14 to adjust the position of the hammer head 12 in the vertical direction according to the compression of the hot dross 5 in the container 2.

	Advanced Manufacturing - November 2001 - Case Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Beyond the demanding physical requirements of dross skimming, there is a tedious and repetitive nature about the job, which can cause a manual operator's pace to slow, and for the quality of their work to become inconsistent by the end of their shift.
		Dross pot replacement requires a temporary shut down of the robot because the operator must enter the robot's work envelope to remove the full dross pot and replace it with an empty one.

	ESAB Helpful Article: Plasma Cut Quality Dross Problems
		Dross is re-solidified oxidized molten metal that is not fully ejected from the kerf during cutting.
		Dross may form as a thick bubbly accumulation along the bottom edge of the plate (low speed dross), a small hard bead of uncut material (high speed dross) or a light coating along the top surface of the plate (top spatter).
		Dross formation is dependent on many process variables including torch travel speed, standoff distance, amperage, voltage and consumable condition.

	Case Study - FANUC Robotics Dross Removal - Robotics Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Prior to robotic dross skimming, DNN Galvanizing had annually rotated employees through the task of skimming the dross (metal oxides) that form on the 6 foot by 13 foot surface of the zinc galvanizing bath through which they dip more than 147,000 lbs.
		Dross skimming requires an operator to manipulate a skimmer (a large 'spoon' with holes in it attached to a ten foot long handle) across the entire surface of the zinc bath in multiple passes.
		In a manner of speaking, the dross removal robot is skimming up more profits for them and their company by performing the most labor intensive, back breaking and monotonous job in their facility.

		During the cutting process, which commonly occurs in-line after the continuous caster, there is a molten metal residue or dross formed at the point where the oxygen torch flame exits the steel structure.
		A stream of oxygen is directed at the molten dross which causes the dross to fall off the steel structure.
		Dross 18 forms on both sides of the exit of the cut.

		Between the extremes of high and low speed dross is a window of dross free or minimum dross cutting.
		Many operators have the tendency to slow the machine down at the first appearance of dross, but often an increase in speed is necessary.
		The second method is to watch the arc (through the appropriate welding lens!) during the cut and dynamically change the speed to produce the optimum arc characteristics.

		DROSS - Many fabrication shops spend a lot of time and money grinding, chipping, and sanding parts that were cut on the plasma machine to remove dross.
		The window varies with plasma gas used: For example, nitrogen and air plasma gasses have a relatively narrow dross free window on carbon steels while oxygen plasma has a wider dross free window.
		With nitrogen or argon/hydrogen, a slight trailing arc is best, and with oxygen plasma gas, the best cut speed is one that gives you a slight leading arc.
