• Description: Melt loss is often not given the attention it deserves in casthouse operations, considering its large economic impact. Because melt loss can be difficult to track or quantify, it sometimes goes unmonitored. Without good measurement, melt loss is difficult to control and improve. In this article, dross generation, melt loss, and dross processing are reviewed. In addition, a deep dive into melt loss calculations and sources of errors is presented.
