The partners will use Metalysis’ electrochemical process – a disruptive technology for solid-state metals and novel alloys production – to develop metals and bespoke alloy powders suitable for additive manufacturing, in pursuit of diversifying the Republic of Kazakhstan’s economy.
A research & development programme is to be carried out at Metalysis’ new Materials Discovery Centre, which is based in South Yorkshire’s Advanced Manufacturing Park Innovation District.
Then, subject to the findings, the partners will seek to develop Kazakhstan’s metal additive manufacturing industry. Basing their efforts within the Autonomous Cluster Fund’s Park of Innovative Technologies, they will weigh up the opportunities for in-country production of metal alloy powders and printing commercial products using additive manufacturing techniques.
Says Metalysis business development director Dr. Malek Deifallah: “We are very pleased to partner with the Autonomous Cluster Fund, and together pursue the clear opportunities Kazakhstan presents for metal alloy powder production and additive manufacturing. We look forward to providing future updates as we go about applying our unique know how and technology.”
