Introduction
Master alloys are base metals which can be mixed with elements of higher percentage, and are added to a melt to achieve the desired result. They are formed in many shapes, and are also known as modifiers, hardeners, or grain refiners based on their applications. They are used instead of a pure metal because they are very economical and save energy and production time. They are suitable for structure control and composition adjustment.
