Aluminum Vanadium Master Alloy

Aluminum Vanadium Master Alloy is a binary master alloy with aluminum (Al) as the matrix and vanadium (V) as the primary alloying element. Available in V5 and V10 grades with vanadium contents of 5% and 10% respectively, the product is supplied in waffle ingot form with a dense and uniform structure for easy storage, transportation, and precise weighing. Feed rate is adjustable according to requirement; its core function is grain refinement and improving strength (Grain refinement, improve strength). Vanadium, as an important microalloying element in aluminum alloys, forms dispersed vanadium-containing compounds in the aluminum matrix that effectively pin grain boundaries, inhibit grain growth, and significantly improve strength and high-temperature stability.

[Key Advantages]
· V5 (5%) and V10 (10%) grades for flexible selection based on target alloy vanadium content requirements; feed rate adjustable according to requirement.
· Introducing vanadium via master alloy form significantly lowers melting temperature compared to pure vanadium addition, enabling faster dissolution and uniform dispersion, reducing segregation risk.
· Vanadium forms dispersed second-phase particles in aluminum alloys that effectively pin grain boundaries, inhibit grain growth and recrystallization, significantly improving strength, high-temperature stability, and creep resistance.
· Waffle ingot form with uniform specifications facilitates weighing with simple operation, suitable for various smelting workshop batching operations; safe and convenient for storage and transportation.
· Uniform and stable composition with reliable quality meets the stringent requirements of precise batching for vanadium-containing aluminum alloys.

[Product Uses]
· Core application: grain refinement, improve strength; feed rate according to requirement — mainly used in aluminum alloy production batching requiring vanadium addition to enhance strength and improve high-temperature performance.
· Widely applied in aerospace high-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., some 2xxx, 7xxx series) smelting batching; vanadium microalloying refines grains, improves strength and fatigue performance, meeting the stringent material requirements of aerospace structural components.
· Suitable for heat-resistant and high-temperature service aluminum alloy production; vanadium's grain boundary pinning effect inhibits recrystallization and grain growth, improving strength retention and dimensional stability at high-temperature service.
· Can be used for trace vanadium addition in electrical aluminum alloys; when used in combination with boron, controls vanadium precipitation behavior to optimize the balance between conductivity and mechanical properties.
