enriquecimiento / adición de componentes de calidad extra / enriquecimiento con ingredientes...

Explanation:
En otras disciplinas se podría hablar de sobredimensionamiento o de coeficientes de seguridad, pero no se me ocurre nada referido a la composición de un material.

Si forzosamente tiene que ser una sola palabra yo diría "enriquecimiento". En caso contrario, utilizaría una perífrasis, como "adición de componentes de calidad extra" o "enriquecimiento con ingredientes de calidad superior a la necesaria", etc.
