| Case Study: Product Development at ALPOCO |
|
ALPOCO is now moving into the aluminium alloys market with a range of applications in powder metallurgy and thermal spraying. The company is also working on converting aluminium alloy powders into consolidated materials - the fine grain size possible with powdersourced materials gives advantages over wrought products in terms of the mechanical properties. The Materials Development team at Innoval Technology has been supporting ALPOCO throughout their product development projects. Here's what Steve McArthur, ALPOCO's Business Development Manager, had to say:
Throughout these developments Innoval Technology has been an invaluable partner, contributing their expertise in materials analysis and characterisation. I have been very happy with the technical contributions and the speed of response from them throughout the project.   ALPOCO is owned by The London & Scandinavian Metallurgical Co Ltd, which is part of the worldwide AMG Group. For more information about our analytical services, please contact:
