Identifying issues in industrial settings
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:
– Composition control in our own modern melting operation. We can manipulate and target the composition of an alloy for a specific outcome.
– Control of casting and solidification of the alloy improving its structure and soundness.
– Hot and warm forming operations such as forging, extrusion and rolling to refine structure and properties.
– Heat treatment to further manipulate the mechanical and physical properties as well as the structure.
Copper Alloys’ research process includes composition designs, microstructural analysis and modelling simulations.
The Copper Alloys team of metallurgical experts use a variety of techniques to create 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.
