Master alloys, straight from the mill.

Aluminothermic master alloys for titanium and superalloy melting — AlV, AlMo, AlNb and custom multi-element systems — alongside grain refiners and hardeners for the cast house. Quoted against your specification, certified per heat lot, inspected before the container is sealed.

  • EN 9100 mills for aerospace grades
  • ISO/IEC 17025 lab data
  • Heat-lot CoA traceability
  • Pre-loading inspection

Product Range

Four families · quoted to your spec

Master alloys are a small line on your bill of materials and a large line on your risk register — an out-of-window heat can write off a full titanium ingot. So the range below is organised the way a melt shop buys: by system and by what the material has to survive, not by catalogue page.

ALY—01

Titanium-Grade Master Alloys

AlV 55/65/75/85 and the aluminothermic family behind titanium melting — AlMo, AlNb, AlCr, AlZr, AlSn, AlTa — for VAR and EB melt shops.

Aerospace-grade · heat-lot CoA Enquire →
ALY—02

Multi-Element & Custom Systems

Ternary and multi-element grades — AlNbZrMo, AlMoWTi, VAlSnCuFe and similar — melted to a customer composition window rather than a catalogue number.

ALY—03

Grain Refiners & Hardeners

AlTiB rod and waffle for cast houses and billet plants, plus AlMn, AlCu, AlSi, AlMg, AlFe hardeners in waffle plate or cut ingot.

ALY—04

Modifiers & AM Feedstock Alloys

AlSr and other modifiers, plus master alloys cut and sized as feedstock for atomised powder used in additive manufacturing.

Sized to your process Enquire →

Adjacent grades and one-off compositions are quoted on request — if it can be melted aluminothermically and vacuum-refined, ask.

§02

Grade Index

Nominal windows · confirmed per quote

Nominal figures for orientation only. Every enquiry is quoted against your own composition window, interstitial limits and size distribution, and confirmed on the mill’s certificate before shipment.

Export control. Several grades in this index — tantalum, tungsten and certain vanadium and aerospace-use materials — are dual-use items under Chinese export control and require a licence, with end-user and end-use documentation. We treat that as a scheduled step in the lead time, not a surprise. Grades are never transshipped through a third country to alter their origin.
§03

Quality & Traceability

What the certificate actually proves

In this category buyers audit the factory, not the seller. Our job is to put you in front of mills that survive that audit — and to keep the evidence trail intact from furnace record to the drum you open.

QA—01 Aerospace Quality Systems

For aerospace-grade work we source only from mills holding EN 9100 / AS 9100 alongside ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 — the baseline your own approved-vendor list will ask for.

QA—02 Accredited Lab Data

Chemistry from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory: full element scan plus interstitials — oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen — reported per heat lot, not per shipment.

QA—03 Three-Stage Inspection

Visual, black-light and X-ray inspection of the lump on the line, so slag inclusions and high-density particles are caught before the material ever reaches your crucible.

QA—04 Lot Consistency by Design

Large single ingots broken down and blended in bulk homogenisation batches — the mechanism that keeps segregation and lot-to-lot variance inside your window.

QA—05 Traceability to the Furnace

Every drum carries a heat-lot number that ties back to the furnace record, raw-material origin and test report. The CoA travels with the goods.

QA—06 Verified Before Loading

Our team in China inspects, weighs and photographs the sealed drums before the container closes — the same discipline as every OlaChina desk.

Certifications listed are those held by the producing mills we source from; scope is confirmed per grade and per order, and the certificates go out with the quote so your quality team reviews them first.

Who Buys This

Four downstream chains
USE—01 Titanium Melt Shops

Ti-6Al-4V and beta grades for aero-engine and airframe forging stock, melted by VAR or EB.

USE—02 Superalloy & Special Steel

Nickel and cobalt superalloy melts, plus tool and specialty steel chemistry corrections.

USE—03 Aluminium Cast Houses

Billet, slab and foundry operations running grain refiner and modifier additions on a continuous schedule.

USE—04 Powder & Additive Manufacturing

Feedstock alloys for gas-atomised Ti and Al powder producers serving AM and MIM.

We ship where the paperwork and the economics both work. Aerospace-chain buyers in Europe, the UK and Japan are the core of the desk; industrial and consumer-titanium buyers across Asia and the Gulf move faster because the qualification path is shorter.

How It Works

Spec → quote → qualification → series
01 · T+0 Specification Intake

Grade or composition window, interstitial limits, particle size, form, annual volume and destination port. A drawing or internal spec sheet is enough to start.

02 · T+3d Mill Quote & Data Pack

A factory-direct price with lead time, packing detail, a sample certificate of analysis and the mill's certification scope — in writing, so your quality team can review before you commit.

03 · Sample Sample Lot & Qualification

A qualification lot for your own incoming inspection or melt trial. Where an audit is required we host it, interpret on site and carry the corrective actions back to the mill.

04 · Series Series Supply & Export

Scheduled production, export licensing where the grade calls for it, pre-loading inspection, documentation and freight to your port under the agreed Incoterm.

Start anywhere in the chain Send a spec sheet, a drawing, or just the grade and tonnage.

Questions Buyers Ask

Answered straight
Can you quote against our internal specification rather than a catalogue grade?

Yes — that is the normal case. Send the composition window, interstitial limits and particle size distribution. Multi-element and non-standard systems are melted to order; catalogue grades ship from the running programme.

What documentation comes with the goods?

A certificate of analysis per heat lot with the full element scan and gas content, the packing list with drum-level lot numbers, and the export set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and the export licence where the grade requires one.

How long does qualification take for an aerospace-grade material?

Plan on twelve to thirty-six months from first sample to series release if the material enters a flight-critical chain: sample lot, melt trial, small-batch release, then production release, usually with a mill audit somewhere in the middle. We work to that clock rather than around it.

Are you the mill or a trading company?

Neither, exactly. OlaChina is a desk in China that works directly with producing mills — you get the mill's own certificate and, where the relationship warrants it, direct technical contact with their metallurgists. What we add is spec translation, on-the-ground QC, audit hosting, export handling and a single point of accountability when something needs fixing.

Can you ship to the United States?

We quote it, but be aware that Section 301 and Section 232 duties stack on Chinese-origin material in this category and usually erase the price advantage. We will say so in the quote rather than after the goods land, and we do not transship through third countries to dodge duty.
