HOESCH GROUPENGLISH
The competence of a company is as high
as its knowledge of its customer’s needs.
Based on this principle, HOESCH develops
unique and tailor-made products for the
non-ferrous industry.
HOESCH products are manufactured under
highest quality and safety standards, out-
standing reliability and the very best techno-
logy available.
More than 30 years ago, HOESCH alloying
additives have already set a great benchmark
in non-ferrous metal applications. Whether
in tablet, briklet or powder form – HOESCH
products are always the perfect choice.
The same applies for our complete line
of DURSALIT® melt treatment fluxes
comprising powder, tablet, fused and
granulated products for modification, grain
refining, cleaning, gassing and degassing.
We supply aluminium grain refiners, harde-
ners and master alloys in waffle plates, rod
sticks and wire forms, piglets or cut cast
bars.
Beside metallic sodium, manganese,
titanium, magnesium, silicon and copper
phosphorous, also ceramic products and
coatings are available.
Fine non-ferrous powder and granules pro-
duced by HOESCH Granules supplement
the product range and extend the know-
how of HOESCH Group on the upstreaming
processes.
HOESCH Products –as Unique as Your Needs
HOESCH GROUP always provides an ap-
propriate solution for the non-ferrous metal
sector as well as for iron and steel found-
ries.
HOESCH Alloying Additives are high qua-
lity products for aluminium smelters, semi
fabricators, remelting plants and foundries.
HOESCH TABLETS and BRIKLETS are
used in melting and casting furnaces or
launders.
HOESCH provides optimal solutions to its
customers by adjusting the concentration
of alloying elements according to their par-
ticular requirements. If requested, powder
products are available, too.
HOESCH TABLETS and BRIKLETS are
produced from high quality raw materials
in powder-metallurgical processes. En-
vironmentally friendly and economic pa-
ckaging is our standard.
HOESCH Alloying AdditivesProfitability and
Outstanding Quality
Since decades, HOESCH develops and
manufactures melt treatment products
under the brand name DURSALIT®.
DURSALIT® products are successfully
used for covering, refining, gassing, de-
gassing, grain refining, modification and
dross treatment.
DURSALIT® products are used worldwide
for Aluminium and Magnesium light metal
smelting, semi-fabrication and remelting
as well as die-casting.
Besides light metal, HOESCH offers an
exclusive range of DURSALIT® melt treat-
ment, remelting, covering and lubrication
agents for heavy metal casting e.g. Cop-
per, Brass, Brass alloys, Bronze or Cupro-
nickel.
HOESCH DURSALIT® products are prefe-
rably used due to its easy, clean and safe
application. When developing these pro-
ducts, HOESCH keeps the primary focus
on a fast and reliable effect, advantage-
ous price-performance ratio as well as
high environmental compatibility.
The wide range of HOESCH DURSALIT®
melt treatment products offers our custo-
mers tailor-made solutions for improve-
ment of their casting quality at best com-
mercial benefits.

HOESCH Metals and Alloys
HOESCH Metallurgical ServiceMonitoring and Improving
Your Individual Production Process
The market requirements for aluminium and
aluminium based materials regarding overall
quality and costs are continuously increasing.
This requires intense, regular analyses and
continuous improvements of individual pro-
cesses to meet all quality targets.
Especially the process parameters such as
temperature control, alloying practice, flux
and cleaning treatments bear optimization
potential for improvement of melt quality.
Detrimental elements like hydrogen and non-
metallic inclusions are often source of quality
problems and increased rejection rates.
The implementation and use of appropri-
ate measuring devices like PoDFA, Prefil®,
LiMCA CM, LiMCA III and AlSCANTM re-
sult in detailed knowledge about the qua-
lity along the casting processes. This pro-
cess quality map is a base for further
improvements of process parameters like
degassing, filtration, grain refining and
modification. In addition, permanent quality
control can be achieved by use of the menti-
oned devices.
HOESCH Metallurgie offers its customers
metallurgical service by carrying out measu-
rements on site with our engineers and ap-
plication of laboratory based methods, whe-
re metallographic examinations are done by
our own metallographers, e.g. in accordance
to the PoDFA Method.
HOESCH Granules GmbH as a part of the
HOESCH Group is a major German produc-
tion company of non-ferrous metal powder

in exothermic abrasives and soldering pro-
ducts. Replacement of sodium and potassi-
um cryolite.
• FusedFlux
Specially manufactured melt treatment salts
under the brand name DURSALIT® for refi-
ning of molten metal for aluminium and mag-
nesium industry.
