Aluminum Niobium Master Alloy Description
Aluminum niobium master alloys are semi-finished products and can be formed in different shapes. They are a pre-alloyed mixture of alloying elements. They are also known as modifiers, hardeners, or grain refiners based on their applications. They are added to a melt to achieve the desired result. They are used instead of pure metal because they are very economical and save energy and production time.
Aluminum Niobium Master Alloy Applications
1. Hardeners: Used for enhancing the physical and mechanical properties of metal alloys.
2. Grain Refiners: Used for controlling the dispersion of individual crystals in metals to produce a finer and more uniform grain structure.
3. Modifiers & Special Alloys: Typically used to increase strength, ductility, and machinability.
