Core capabilities

Alloy Design & Manufacturing

Technical services spanning alloy development through manufacturing validation, combining predictive design, process development, and applied metallurgy.

01
Alloy Design for AM

Composition + processing pathways optimized for printability, performance, and consistency across advanced additive manufacturing routes.

02
Friction-Stir Processing

Support for friction stir welding, additive deposition, and thermomechanical processing routes with metallurgical depth and validation-focused development.

03
PSP Integration

Correlate process conditions to microstructure and mechanical response with practical validation to reduce trial-and-error and accelerate transfer.

04
Mechanical Testing & Validation

Tensile testing and mechanical characterization to validate alloy performance, correlate properties with processing conditions, and support alloy development and manufacturing optimization.
