Alloys

Advanced metal alloys form the physical backbone of the energy transition and deep-tech economy. REC 2's ambition is to develop, process and supply high-performance titanium, nickel and aluminium alloys — materials engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures and corrosive environments where standard engineering grades fail — for defence and precision engineering applications.

Our alloy strategy focuses on three demand drivers: the civil aerospace recovery, the global nuclear renaissance, and the rapid expansion of defence procurement. We are in discussions with an Italian polytechnic institute whose metallurgy research programme aligns closely with this goal, with a view to jointly developing special alloys and solving specific material-performance problems raised by defence and engineering partners — work we want to do, structured as a genuine research collaboration rather than a claim of existing capability.

The vertical integration between REC 2's rare metals, alloy manufacturing and recycling operations creates a closed-loop materials economy. Scrap from alloy manufacturing feeds back into our recycling streams, while recovered rare earths from battery and solar recycling supply our alloy development programmes — each vertical strengthening the others.
