We do not compromise on material quality or performance.
Often customers cannot find an alloy within existing material specifications that performs as well as expected for their component or industry.
This means they have to compromise. But compromising on metal alloy choices means settling on an alloy which does not actually completely meet requirements.
The resulting output is now not suitable as key properties are weaker. This can have long-lasting effects on products or services. This should be non-negotiable.
Copper Alloys are experts in making metals with the best possible combinations of properties. Our in-depth metallurgical knowledge and the ability to skilfully control melting, casting and processing allows us to manipulate mechanical and physical properties to suit a specific application.
We gain an understanding of the application challenges and use our metallurgical expertise to create a bespoke solution. This is how we do it:
Material research is the process of developing new metal alloys or maximising the properties of existing ones to provide maximum performance in their location and ultimate application.
This research will show the very best optimisations to make in order to enhance key mechanical characteristics like strength, conductivity or resistance.
Copper Alloys’ research process includes composition designs, microstructural analysis and modelling simulations.
Material development refers to the actual creation of the final metal alloy. This is the step where analysis has been approved and all parties are happy with the laid-out plans.
The Copper Alloys team of metallurgical experts then use a variety of techniques to create the desired microstructures and final compositions.
The progressive nature of material creation means that Copper Alloys is always researching and developing new processes and alloys to keep you ahead of the curve.
Many of the 200+ alloys we manufacture have been developed to provide our customers with performance solutions previously unavailable.
