Tin Germanium Master Alloy

Tin Germanium Master Alloy – 1% Germanium in High-Purity Tin Base

The Tin Germanium Master Alloy from DKL Metals is a precise, reliable solution for introducing high-temperature Germanium into much lower-melting tin-based alloys. This master alloy is a cost-effective and dependable alternative to using pure Germanium, which can cause solution and segregation problems in solder production.

Predominantly used in the mass manufacture of high-grade electronic solders, such as the renowned Nihon Superior SN100C and its imitations, our master alloy ensures consistent quality and analysis. It is manufactured exclusively from 99.9% virgin tin and Germanium, guaranteeing purity and performance.
