The Conduit for High-Performance Energy and Magnetics
While Copper is globally recognised for its electrical and thermal conductivity, its advanced metallurgical value is unlocked through precise alloying. Less Common Metals (LCM) specialises in the Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) of Copper-based systems that integrate transition metals and rare earth elements (REEs).
In the permanent magnet sector, Copper is a critical additive for Neodymium–Iron–Boron (NdFeB) systems, where it acts as a microstructural stabiliser to improve coercivity and corrosion resistance. Our facility based in Ellesmere Port produces high-purity Copper cast products, including specialty master alloys and complex intermetallics, tailored for the most demanding energy transition and semiconductor applications.
