Designed to be Supplied

Frontier alloys for the future of Oil & Gas

Rapidly evolving supply chains, regulations, emerging technologies, and advanced manufacturing methods are reshaping entire industries. Legacy materials aren’t just failing to keep up, they’re holding progress back. We engineer next-generation alloys, qualify them, and supply them at scale.

Specialized Alloys

Rapid Alloy Design (RAD™)

RAD™ is how we take an alloy from a problem to a product we supply at scale.

It starts with a complete understanding of the performance target alongside every constraint on cost, manufacturability, and supply. AI-driven alloy design, coupled with physics-based simulations, searches an enormous space of compositions and processing routes and narrows it to the few worth making and testing. We then produce the alloy, test it, qualify it, and scale it up until it becomes a material with a specification, a supply chain, and a price per kilogram.

World’s first cemented carbide for Laser Powder Bed Fusion 3D Printing

Cemented carbides are standard for heavy-wear components, but conventional pressing, sintering and machining limit geometry and lead times. Our alloy prints dense parts on standard Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems without compromising performance, so you get the geometry and lead times of printing without giving up wear resistance. We supply it as powder or as finished parts.

Design Freedom

Complex geometries with optimized flow channels

Shorter Lead Time

Print on demand with no upfront tooling requirements

Wear Performance

Comparable wear resistance to conventionally produced cemented carbides

Tunable Toughness & Hardness

Vary binder and WC proportions to tune the mechanical properties for the application

AI Search

Our AI models explore possible alloy compositions against the requirements of the application. Guided by physics-based simulations and experimental data, they narrow the search to promising candidates for further evaluation.

02

Atoms

We calculate how elements interact and bond at the atomic scale. This helps us understand which combinations are stable and provides the physical foundation for predicting the behaviour of a new allov.

03

Microstructure

We simulate how an alloy's internal structure develops during solidification and processing. The size and arrangement of grains and phases help determine its strength, hardness, wear resistance and other properties.

04

Process & Part

We model how an alloy behaves during manufacturing and how the resulting component responds to operating conditions. This helps us develop the material and process together, connecting alloy design to the demands of the finished part.

Manufacture

We produce the material and test coupons to evaluate material performance in the real world.

Test

We qualify our materials with industry-accepted standardized tests.

Qualify

Our materials are qualified on commercial production equipment from reliable suppliers.

Supply

We supply materials by the kilogram or as finished components.

When no existing alloy works, this is the best route to one that does.

Materials designed for what you need them to do

Performance beyond the catalogue
Performance beyond the catalogue

Components perform better and fail less often because the alloy was designed against your performance target rather than selected as the closest available match.

Built for your process

The chemistry and the manufacturing route are designed together, so the material performs in the process you actually run, whether that is printing, casting, or forging.

When regulations change what you can use, we design to the new requirement and the original performance at the same time, so meeting the rule costs you nothing in the part.

Supply you can rely on

We design around inputs you can secure and produce through partners in allied countries, so the material stays available regardless of where the supply chain moves next.

Built for Impact

The world is rebuilding its industrial base, but it cannot do so with the materials of the last one.

The plans now being made in energy, defence, and manufacturing all assume that the materials they need will be available. Yet many of those materials were developed decades ago, for a different industrial era, with different performance requirements and far fewer concerns about their supply. The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Phaseshift is ensuring the materials evolve just as rapidly.
