Metalysis, the UK technology company with a solid-state process to produce
valuable alloy powders, is powering up the world-first commercial plant at
its Materials Manufacturing Centre in Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire.
The Generation 4 (Gen4) project was mechanically completed on time in Q4
2017. It has since undergone hot commissioning, trial runs, optimisation and
handover to Operations. The handover signifies Metalysis’ transition into
commercial production following more than a decade of phased technology
development.
Gen4 is the first facility to take Metalysis’ solid-state, modular,
electrochemical process to industrial scale and can produce tens-to-hundreds
of tonnes per annum of high value, niche and master alloys. It creates a new
UK source of supply for global end-users in advanced manufacturing
disciplines including aerospace and 3D printing consumables among others.
A standout benefit of Metalysis’ technology is its multi-metal capability,
which enables the company to produce alloy ‘recipes’ that comparable
processing routes cannot. Where conventional technologies are unable to
elegantly combine elements with melting and density differentials, this
technology can because it is a solid-state process.
Gen4 enables Metalysis to commercially produce a demand-driven product mix
of titanium alloys; master alloys including Scandium-Aluminide, which
continues to pose excellent launch product potential as announced on 11 June
2018; compositionally complex alloys including High Entropy Alloys; magnet
materials; high temperature materials; and Platinum Group Metal alloys.
