Alloyed, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced metallic components, has received £1 million in funding from the ATI Programme to accelerate the development of a next-generation nickel-based superalloy designed for additive manufacturing.

Able to withstand temperatures of 1000°C, the superalloy could be a vital component for the ultra-efficient jet engines of the future.

This has been undertaken in collaboration with ITP Aero, a world-leading engine components manufacturer for big brands like Rolls Royce and Airbus, and Cranfield University.

Last year Alloyed announced a £37m Series B fundraise to expand its manufacturing facilities in the UK and Seattle.

In recent months, Alloyed has designed, tested and built two new microturbines – the A300N turbine and a much larger A1100 turbine – for use in drones using 3D-printed techniques, reducing production time from several years to a matter of weeks to strengthen the UK’s sovereign security capabilities with a near shore supply chain.
