LPC steels
Case-hardening steels, high-alloy steels, gears, shafts, actuators and components where hard case + tough core are required.
Materials groups
Cathode and emitter materials
W/Mo/refractory metals, scandate-type emitter context, ceramic insulation, brazing interfaces and vacuum compatibility.
Coatings and functional surfaces
Mo/Mo-C/W-C/Ti-C systems, Cr-Al coatings, Avinit multilayers, turbine/compressor applications and tribological coatings.
Vacuum hardware materials
Stainless steels, aluminium alloys, ceramics, seals, feedthroughs, thermal shields and cleanable surfaces.
Space-environment materials
Outgassing, emissivity, thermal cycling, plasma exposure, contamination, electrical insulation and optical-surface cleanliness.
Modelled properties
Diffusion, phase stability, microstructure evolution, hardness profile, contact fatigue, wear and temperature/vacuum behaviour.
