The demand for quality metal and metal alloy powders from additive manufacturing, aerospace, defence, electronics, clean energy firms and many more industries that are central to our progress is set to grow massively. The key to cost-effective, fit-for-purpose powders lies in the technology used to create them.
The Metalysis FFC process was developed at Cambridge University, UK, in 1997 and has been refined and patented to realise Metalysis’ capabilities. Able to control the morphology of powder during the production process, Metalysis is creating a range of bespoke metal and metal alloy powders to meet customer-demands.
This will revolutionise the metal powder and additive manufacturing markets, so leading to next era of metal, alloy and high entropy alloy design and application.

The first step to reducing your carbon footprint is to measure it – ‘what gets measured gets managed’ An important part of this transition is helping organisations understand how and…
Compact nuclear power stations can help us decarbonise our energy production. We are leading a consortium developing power plants that generate electricity using a small modular reactor (SMR). Fleets of…
The Forge is the UK’s first net-zero commercial development by Landsec and the world’s first large-scale office scheme to be built using a standardised “kit of parts”. Steelwork played a…
The financial risks in developing a new alloy or thermomechanical process for a steelmaker are significant, especially in the light of recent increases in raw materials and energy costs. Liberty…
Through the IOM3 Surface Technology Group, the session will explore the innovations in Surface Technology and how these are instrumental in facilitating the drive towards decarbonisation and net zero. Covering…
Aluminium cans are highly recyclable and widely recycled already in the UK, achieving an 82% recycling rate for 2021, but there are more challenges that need addressing to achieve holistic…
Recent research has shown that nearly 50% of companies wait for a part or tool to fail before conducting simulation. In this presentation we will be exploring the benefits of…
Powder atomisation is a cost-effective processing method that has the ability to produce complex shapes which are impractical, or even impossible, for conventional processes whilst minimising machining by producing parts…
