The emphasis of our development efforts is firmly focussed on industrial application.

Innovation in new alloys:
With a highly qualified and experienced technical team, we have a unique capability, skilled at solving the most demanding metallurgical and alloying challenges. This strong technical innovation is supported by a well equipped facility, enabling LCM to provide custom made alloys in a variety of physical forms, from ingot through to powders or as sputtering targets and heat treated alloys with controlled microstructures.

Existing products:
The purpose of our development activities extends to the support and continual improvement of existing products. We work with customers to deliver technical improvements that will enhance product performance in application.

Materials research:
Our team continues to work within a number of development projects; these include initiatives funded by the European framework programme. This involvement strengthens our links with industrial partners and leading international universities, keeping LCM at the leading edge of materials development.
