Aluminum Beryllium Master Alloy Description
Aluminum beryllium 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. These master alloys are used in aluminum wrought alloys and foundry alloys for composition adjustments and structure control.
Aluminum beryllium master alloys can be introduced into aluminum-magnesium melts to reduce magnesium losses. Small beryllium additions to the melt also result in the improved surface quality of DC billet and impart improved mechanical properties for premium quality aluminum castings.
Stanford Advanced Materials offers a complete range of alloys for the global aluminum industry including the Aluminum- Beryllium master alloy.

Aluminum Beryllium Master Alloy Applications
- Hardeners: Used for enhancing the physical and mechanical properties of metal alloys.
- Grain Refiners: Used for controlling the dispersion of individual crystals in metals to produce a finer and more uniform grain structure.
- Modifiers & Special Alloys: Typically used to increase strength, ductility, and machinability.
