The Materials Processing Institute works with the global steel and materials industries, to carry out research and innovation in Advanced Materials, Low Carbon Energy and The Circular Economy.

Advanced Materials

Research in advanced materials to understand how they can be used more efficiently and effectively and develop new and innovative materials.

Working to reduce carbon emissions through enhanced use of energy to develop a low-carbon future globally.

Research to reduce and minimise resource usage, waste, emissions and energy leakage through improved design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and recycling.

Big Data, Industrial Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality are all emerging technologies that comprise the 4th Industrial Revolution commonly referred to as Industry 4.0.

Developing materials and commercialising technologies for industrial processes, to improve efficiency, productivity and yield. Particular expertise in the processing of materials, especially steel and metals, and the development of new alloys. Working with a collaboration partners to deliver individual innovation projects, up to fully integrated programmes for large, multinational clients.

High quality steels, manufactured to short lead times and to client specifications. A bespoke specialist melting and casting service.

Expert advice and technical due diligence for Mergers & Acquisitions, capital expenditure on new plant and equipment and market studies. Technology management and leadership support, including creating a culture of innovation, setting up and running innovation programmes and new product development portfolio management. Clients include private industry, public bodies and Government.
