<p>Aluminum-strontium enriched master allow granules for use primarily in modifying the eutectic phase in aluminum-silicon casting alloys. The master alloy granules are predominantly intermetallic compounds Al4Sr, Al2Sr or AlSr and mixtures thereof. By using such intermetallic dominant alloys in a granulated state rapid dissolution in aluminum-silicon alloy melts is achieved. The master alloy composition can be directly added to a content of the melt or injected into it. The master alloy composition can also be mixed with aluminum granules and extruded into a rod or entrained into a billet of cast aluminum. The master alloy is also useful as an inoculant for gray cast iron.</p> |
