We provide a range of services from the synthesis of metal alloy powders to meet a particular specification to the development of powder or spray based technologies to the pilot scale, offering an integrated approach to materials and processing with a full appreciation of the commercial objectives and constraints.


  • Automotive industry:
  • » Development of novel battery alloys for electric cars. These higher capacity, higher power, environmentally friendly alloys pave the way for a new generation of hybrid vehicles. The technology developed includes a patented process for the direct production of electrodes from the melt by a spray deposition process.

  • Electronics industry:
  • » Production of fine powders for integrated circuits manufacturers, providing benefits of lower cost and higher throughput.

  • Aerospace industry:
  • » Synthesis of high temperature-resistant alloys and components, producing tailor-made structures for specific applications.

  • Chemical industry:
  • » Development of base metal catalysts with improved performance through the application of rapid solidification processing. A patented process for the production of activated nickel catalyst supported on a foil substrate has been developed.

  • Renewable Energy:
  • » Development of a spray pyrolysis coating process to produce nano-structured metal oxide thin films for novel photovoltaic devices. The process has been progressed from 1cm2 laboratory samples to full size (5000cm2) panels and the chemistry improved to produce a fourfold increase in performance.
