Title: Process for alloying metals

Abstract: A process is provided for efficiently and rapidly alloying a slowly soluble solute metal with a molten host metal maintained at a temperature of T.degree. C, the solute metal having a melting point of over T.degree. C + 100.degree. C. The alloying is effected without substantially superheating the molten host metal. This is achieved by forming a separate superheated hot melt of a master alloy of said solute metal with a portion of the host metal at a temperature in excess of T.degree. C + 100.degree. C and then blending said hot melt master alloy with said molten host metal to provide a predetermined final alloy composition of said host metal at an accelerated dissolution rate.
