What We do.

The Less Common Metals laboratory is an inorganic analytical laboratory equipped to test the elemental composition, micro-structural and physical properties of inorganic materials. It primarily acts as the quality control (QC) department for the production of metal alloys but has the capability to perform commercial analysis on a variety of inorganic materials.

Less Common Metals (LCM) produce bespoke alloys which are manufactured to high customer specifications. It is therefore vital that LCM has its own testing facilities to qualify the materials it makes.

LCM is constantly looking to meet new customer demands, so development trials are regularly undertaken for alloys we have never melted before.

Quality Control

Less Common Metals is proud to be accredited to the international standards for quality and environmental management (ISO 9001 and ISO 14001). We are also pursuing accreditation to the laboratory management standard ISO 17025. In addition, we are committed to having a positive impact on the performance of our customers by providing products that are delivered on time and fully meet customer specifications.
