Master Alloys

Master alloys are used to introduce controlled alloying elements into molten metals to improve strength, grain structure, and casting performance. These materials allow foundries and metal producers to fine-tune metallurgical composition and optimize solidification behavior.

Asbury works closely with customers to identify the appropriate alloy additions for specific metal systems.

  • Phosphorous copper is widely used in copper processing as a deoxidizing agent that removes oxygen from molten copper baths while also increasing strength, hardness, and elasticity in copper alloys. It is also commonly used as a wetting agent for brazing alloys.
  • Strontium modifiers are used in aluminum casting to modify silicon structures, improving ductility, strength, and machinability in both hypoeutectic and hypereutectic aluminum alloys.
  • Titanium boron grain refiners are used to control grain structure and improve the mechanical strength and soundness of aluminum castings by refining microstructure during solidification.
