Alloy development

Given the rapid technological development in mobility, the demands on aluminium and magnesium alloys are constantly increasing. This concerns material properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, joinability and crash behavior, as well as the processability of the alloys through processes such as extrusion and deep drawing.
The scientists and technologists at LKR have many years of experience in the design and processing of light metal alloys and support partners in alloy development.
