Product Overview

At PSW, alloy development is central to how we innovate and meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing. Combining deep metallurgical expertise with advanced design tools, we develop and refine alloy chemistries that deliver high performance, processability, and consistency while supporting our low-carbon strategy. Whether optimizing existing grades or creating new solutions, we partner with customers to enable the next generation of advanced applications - Explore the alloy offerings below to learn more about our available low-carbon semi-solid solutions.

Magnesium Chips

Our magnesium alloy chips are purpose-engineered for thixomolding, enabling efficient semi-solid processing and consistent performance. When heated to a semi-solid state, they provide excellent flow for precise mold filling of complex geometries, while minimizing oxidation and material loss. The result is lightweight, high-precision components with improved process efficiency and material utilization.

VerdeAl™

VerdeAL™ is the result of years of research and development, combining our green metal production assets with advanced alloy design technology to create a product that meets the demands of both performance and planet.

VerdeALTM  has an ultra-low carbon footprint of less than 1.5 t CO2e per t Aluminum produced. Despite its ultra-low carbon footprint, VerdeAL delivers castability and mechanical performance fully comparable to conventional alloys, with notably enhanced consistency across batches.

Each batch of VerdeAL™ will be accompanied by a standard Certificate of Analysis issued by Trialco Aluminum (a PSW Group Company), now enhanced with verified carbon footprint and recycled content data supported by a trusted third-party platform.

VerdeAl™– NH

On top of the ultra-low carbon footprint feature, PSW's VerdeAl™ – NH alloys are heat-treatment free. They are engineered to achieve required mechanical properties directly during casting or forming, eliminating the need for additional thermal processing. This enables reduced energy consumption, shorter production cycles, and lower overall costs while maintaining consistent and reliable material performance.
