Master Alloys

With a metallurgist, foundry specialist and other sales and technical experts onsite, PTC Chemicals offers complete access to our unparalleled knowledge, global network, and packaging resources so you can identify the right high-quality master alloy and source it reliably. Options include:

Phosphorous Copper
Widely used in the copper industry as a deoxidant to help remove oxygen from copper baths and as an alloying agent to increase strength, hardness, and elasticity while reducing creep and grain growth. Also used as a wetting agent for brazing alloys. PTC Chemical’s phosphorous copper is available in 15% and 8% grades as shot or waffle. (Available in Canada only)

Strontium Modifiers
Used primarily to increase strength, toughness, ductility, and machinability of silicon aluminum, we offer strontium modifiers for both hypoeutectic and hyper-eutectic silicon aluminum in waffle, Acu-Stix, and cut rod forms. (Available in Canada only)

Titanium Boron Grain Refiners (TiBor)
Used to improve the mechanical strength and soundness of aluminum castings by controlling structures and cooling dispersion, TiBor is available in pre-sized Accu-Stix, cut wire, and waffles. (Available in Canada and the United States)

Niche/specialty products also available:
  • Nickel
  • Pure Copper Chop
  • Pure Chrome
  • Pure Moly
  • Pure Tungsten
  • Pure Tin
  • Calcium Silicon
