“We started noticing that our 535 metal was losing more magnesium than expected, and at first, we couldn’t figure out why. To help troubleshoot the issue, I used the AFS Library Assistant to look for direction. I found an article that discussed how extended degassing times can cause magnesium loss. That helped us realize we were degassing longer than necessary, which was likely the reason our magnesium levels were dropping.

The AFS Library Assistant directed me straight to the section of the paper where this issue was discussed. I quickly found the exact information I needed, which made the process much faster and helped us identify a likely cause of the issue.”

“Initial thoughts – I was amazed at the publications that the search found when I searched for flowability of green sands. I had recently done some searching on this same topic using the standard AFS search and only found a couple articles that were related to what I wanted – and more articles that were not what I was looking for. This search found eight that were all related to the topic I was searching for. I’m impressed.”
