•    Description:   Achieving a consistent melt quality is a key parameter for aluminum operations looking to meet the quality standards of their customers. In general, the melt quality of aluminum is determined by the concentration of hydrogen, sodium, and inclusions. Over the years, significant progress has been made regarding technologies and methods for assessing inclusion content. The same applies to measurement methods for determining hydrogen and chemical concentration in the melt. This article provides a snapshot of these measurement methods and technologies, along with their development status.
