What Makes Legor® Alloys So Special?

Legor alloys offer improved flow characteristics and optimal grain characteristics. Modern research shows the advantages of adding grain refiners to alloys to improve their performance in the manufacture of jewelry, hollowware and objets d’art. These alloys start with the highest purity metals and include—as grain refiners—very small amounts of metals such as germanium and iridium. The right grain refiners help you produce castings with compact grain structures, reducing risk of boundary cracking and enhancing a bright surface polish.

So, what makes “premium” premium?

To meet our premium standards, these grains have a combination of these characteristics:
• Smooth, fine finish that melts quickly and evenly.
• Smaller-crystal grain size,improving both cast and finish.
• Extremely high fluidity, enhancing fast, complete fills.
• Corrosion/oxidation-resistant for clean, strong castings.
• Reduction of shrinkage porosity.
• Fine reproduction of detail for sharp, clear castings.
• Less prone to breakage, even in the deox varieties.
• Easy finishing, minimizing labor and material costs.
• No metal inclusions or hard spots.
• No crucible residue that can contaminate your next cast.
• Availability of specially formulated vacuum casting alloy that reduce both fumes and process residue.
