One of the key challenges in melting aluminum is oxidation. When exposed to air, aluminum forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide, which can contaminate the melt and affect casting quality. Furnaces are therefore designed to limit air exposure and may incorporate features like protective atmospheres or fluxes that reduce oxidation and dross formation. Some advanced systems include inert gas purging or even vacuum melting capabilities to ensure optimal material purity.
