Aluminum Vanadium Master Alloy Waffle Plates
Waffle-shaped plates of aluminum-vanadium master alloy (typically 40-70% V), facilitating easy melting and distribution in titanium alloy furnaces. Unwrought aluminum alloy under 7601.20.90.30 due to predominant aluminum and specific vanadium composition. Common form for precise metallurgical control.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If shaped into bars or rods exceeding unwrought criteria
Aluminum alloy bars/rods are semi-manufactures under 7604, not unwrought
If mistakenly declared under iron/steel alloys
Only aluminum-predominant alloys stay in Chapter 76; others go to appropriate base metal chapter

Import Tips & Compliance
• Package in sealed nitrogen-filled containers to prevent oxidation; provide dimensional weights for waffle volume calculation; beware of reclassification if cut to finished shapes

Aluminum Vanadium Master Alloy VAl60
This master alloy contains approximately 60% vanadium and the balance primarily aluminum, used to introduce vanadium into aluminum melts for titanium alloy production. It qualifies as an aluminum alloy under HTS 7601.20 because aluminum predominates by weight and the vanadium content exceeds alloying thresholds in chapter notes. Supplied in ingot or waffle form for metallurgical addition.
AlTiV Aluminum Vanadium Titanium Master Alloy
A ternary master alloy with aluminum base, 4-6% vanadium, and 5-10% titanium, used in aerospace for grain refinement in titanium alloys. Classified under 7601.20.90.30 as unwrought aluminum alloy where Al predominates and combined alloying elements exceed note limits. Typically cast into small ingots for foundry use.
AlV8 Aluminum-8% Vanadium Master Alloy Ingots
Master alloy ingots containing 8% vanadium in aluminum matrix, designed for precise vanadium addition to molten aluminum or titanium alloys in aerospace foundries. Meets aluminum alloy definition in chapter note (b) with vanadium exceeding single-element limits. Unwrought form prevents classification as semi-finished.
