Magnesium-zirconium (MgZr) master alloy, also known as magnesium zirconium casting alloy, is crucial for enhancing the performance of magnesium alloys. Zirconium acts as crystal nuclei during solidification, refining the alloy grains and significantly improving the mechanical properties. Moreover, zirconium greatly enhances magnesium alloys' corrosion and heat resistance.

Heeger Materials (HM) is a leading supplier of master alloys based on magnesium, aluminum, copper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc. These master alloys find application in producing exceptionally specialized metal products, such as special steels and superalloys for aircraft engines, nuclear reactors, and other rigorous applications.
