Core offering

Aleastur manufactures and sells aluminum grain refiners (AlTiB, AlTiC, including proprietary 006 Ultimate and Supreme brands) and a broad portfolio of master alloys (AlB, AlSr, AlCa, AlCr, AlTi, AlV, AlZr, AlCu, AlFe, AlMg, AlMn, AlNi, AlSi, AlZn, AlSb and specialty variants) for wrought and foundry aluminum alloy producers. The company also produces Potassium Aluminium Fluoride (PAF) for industrial applications and automated wire rod feeders for adding grain refiners and master alloys into aluminum melts.

Product overview

Aleastur is an industrial aluminum materials company offering a unified portfolio of four core product lines: Grain Refiners (including AlTiB and AlTiC alloys, plus branded variants 006 Ultimate™ and Supreme™), Master Alloys (including AlB, AlSr, AlCa, AlCr, AlTi, AlV, AlZr, AlCu, AlFe, AlMg, AlMn, AlNi, AlSi, AlZn, AlSb and specialty variants), PAF (Potassium Aluminium Fluoride), and Rod Feeders. These products serve the aluminum industry for grain refinement, alloying, and processing applications, with master alloys facilitating quick dissolution of alloying elements and grain refiners reducing crystal size during solidification.
