Luxfer MEL Technologies provides high-performance magnesium alloys that are renowned for their exceptional combination of weight and strength.

Adding zirconium into resin formulation can improve certain properties that can be beneficial in industries such as the coatings industry.

Luxfer MEL Technologies is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a Gold Sustainability rating for 2022 by EvoVadis.

Nano technology is a hot topic in the chemical industry, due to the improved properties they can incur on the end product.

As casting technology has developed over hundreds of years to create more complex and innovating parts within the aerospace and motorsport industries, the use of modern technology of casting simulation has quickly become a vital aspect of the design process when using magnesium alloys in applications.

Innovation in new materials for inks to be printed on are creating issues in the printing industry such as weak adhesion, heat resistance and scrub resistance.

Luxfer MEL Technologies has spent the last 80 years developing alloys that resist corrosion for the automotive and aerospace industries.

The need for surface protection of magnesium alloys depends entirely on the conditions of service, and where these are known to be non-corrosive no protection may be necessary.

Magnesium is the lightest commercially available structural metal and is an ideal solution for weight critical applications in aerospace.  It provides a lightweight alternative to Aluminium, Titanium, Steel and Carbon Fibre.

Magnesium is the lightest commercially available structural metal and exhibits excellent machinability. It has unique characteristics and requires just 55% of the power needed for machining aluminium.

SoluMag is a seamless extruded tube capable of higher-strength and greater resistance to deformation.

Zirconium Oxide (or Zirconia) products demonstrate good mechanical properties and stability at elevated temperatures.

Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2), also known as Zirconia, boasts the highest mechanical strength and fracture toughness compared to other fine grained ceramics.

Light weight components increase acceleration, reduce braking distance, reduce emissions, fuel consumption, increase payloads and range.
