The present invention also provides a CALM SURFACE ON THE MOLTEN METAL BATH for minimization of dross formations in MOLTEN ALUMINUM applications.

It is typically desirable to maximize the saturation of the MOLTEN ALUMINUM with small gas bubbles and to maintain a FLAT OR CALM MELT SURFACE to better facilitate the floating and capturing of inclusions and salts to the melt surface. Achieving these objectives will generally result in BETTER SEPARATION OF THE MOLTEN ALUMINUM FROM THE DROSS. There are many factors that contribute to the efficiency of these systems, such as the nozzle or injector design, gas flow rates, the FLATNESS OF THE MOLTEN ALUMINUM MELT SURFACE, vessel chambered geometries, and others.

Don't know if this is relevant, Jeanne, but aluminium is used in steelmaking to "kill" (tranquiliser) the steel. Also known as "calming".
