| Case Study: New Alloy Development at Langley Alloys |
|
The latest alloy developments at Langley Alloys have been the leading superduplex stainless steel, FERRALIUM 255-SD50 and the high strength copper-nickel alloys MARINEL 220 and MARINEL 230. Both of these materials offer high corrosion resistance for seawater applications coupled with advantageous mechanical properties. Clive Tuck, Technical Director of Langley Alloys Ltd, comments:
Materials development demands the input of expertise in all aspects of the manufacturing process and the requirement for high class metallurgical analysis. Innoval Technology has staff and facilities which satisfy both of these aspects of alloy advancement. Thus, Innoval's services have proved to be invaluable to Langley Alloys as a means to developing and improving its products.   Innoval Technology offers a complete materials characterisation and analysis service. By supplementing our in-house expertise, interpretative skills and facilities with an extensive outsourcing network, we provide a unique, cost-effective approach to materials development. Our facilities in Banbury, UK, are accredited to ISO 17025. For more information about our analytical services, please contact:

Langley Alloys was originally founded in 1938. Starting with some key alloy developments during the Second World War (including engine bearing materials for Spitfire aircraft) it has developed a global reputation for design, development and supply of alloys for high integrity applications. Originally the company was based at Langley, near Heathrow, but now operates from an integrated manufacturing and distribution site in Stoke on Trent.
