Material Selection

The sheer magnitude of available materials can make selecting the correct one for your application a daunting task.  Sticking with what you know or materials you have used in the past is risky and could mean missing out on that all important competitive advantage. Worse still, when materials fail or underperform, the results can be catastrophic leading to delays in production, market adoption or even fines from law suits and regulatory bodies. Lucideon’s experts will walk you through their customized material selection process which includes access to extensive material property databases and sector specific materials consultants.

• Material replacement due to new REACH regulations
• Identification of new materials to address product failure
• Technology assessment to identify potential improvements on existing materials.

Material Development

Lucideon has extensive experience designing and developing new ceramic, polymer, and metal materials to meet end user applications. If your application requires properties that are beyond those which are currently available, we can work collaboratively with your internal teams to identify a technology pathway and lay out a roadmap for implementation into your products.   

• Design and atomization of new alloys for Additive Manufacturing (AM)
• Development ceramic composite materials for high temperature and hypersonic applications
• Innovative methods of joining of dissimilar materials, such as Flash Sintering.
