Aluminium Master Alloys

Description

Benefits :

A Master Alloy is a base metal such as Aluminium / Copper / Iron with a replatively high percentage of one or two elements . An example is AlMn10 – a binary alloy consisting of 10 % Manganese in Aluminium . A master Alloy is a semi finished product. It is manufactured for use as a raw material by metal processing units . They are produced in various shapes & sizes , namely: ingots, waffles , cubes , rods in coil form etc.

Reasons for using a Master Alloy instead of a pure metal can be economical &/or technical . Some elements show high losses or poor yield when added in pure form . Some elements do not dissolve at all at the furnace temperature as in the cast house . A Master alloy often provided the solution as it dissolves mush quicker at lower temperatures thereby saving valuable energy and production time .
