We manipulate alloy composition and microstructure atom by atom using 3D atom-probe tomography and AI-guided CALPHAD. This enables precise control over precipitates, grain boundaries, and solute segregation — directly improving creep resistance, fatigue life, and recyclability in Ni-superalloys, Al-Mg alloys, and beyond.
Aerospace (creep-resistant Ni-blades), automotive/EV (lightweight Al-Mg), energy (Cu-connectors, high-entropy alloys), and circular manufacturing. Our alloys are designed for long life, full recyclability, and real-world validation in turbines, motors, and structural components.

We analyze recycled scrap via 3D atom-probe to map impurities and phases. AI-CALPHAD then predicts optimal elemental additions to restore or exceed virgin alloy performance — achieving up to 85% lower CO₂ and 2× component life, proven in turbine blades and EV structures.
