Mg-Y master alloy

Mg-Y master alloy is a master alloy for magnesium alloy, it can: Facilitate introduction of high temperature melting elements to a relatively low-temperature bath of metal, resulting in the following benefits: Increase recovery and reduce metal loss by avoiding high bath temperatures and prolonged periods of alloying and mixing. Oxidation and/or evaporation rate is lower than pure metals.Increase refractory life by avoiding high bath temperatures and prolonged stirring.Enhance safety by avoiding high alloying temperatures and handling of reactive pure elements.Reduce labor cost with a shorter production cycle.Improve chemistry control, replacing scrap with known master alloy chemistry and avoid potential contamination. Cost reduction when compared to use of virgin metal additions in many cases.Custom specification master alloys allow introduction of multiple pre-alloyed elements simultaneously in one addition.Improve alloy homogeneity by eliminating introduction of single elements.Reduce need for deoxidizers in many cases.Allow last minute chemistry correction additions, further reducing furnace time.
