Claims
- 1. An Al-Ti master alloy consisting essentially of, in weight percent, carbon up to 0.1, titanium 2 to 15, and the balance aluminum plus impurities normally found in master alloys wherein the alloy is substantially free of carbides greater than about 5 microns in diameter.
- 2. The master alloy of claim 1 wherein the weight percent of carbon is greater than about 0.003 but less than 0.1.
- 3. The master alloy of claim 1 wherein the weight percent of carbon is from about 0.018 to about 0.028.
