Metal production and interface design facilities

Metals production and interface design facilities

Production plants, a large foundry and a collection of well-equipped laboratories comprise the facilities that support R&D carried out by scientists and engineers at CSIRO. Please contact us if you wish to know about our R&D projects or to make use of these facilities and our know-how associated with the equipment.

Titanium thin sheet

CSIRO is developing a process for producing low-cost titanium sheet and strip from titanium powder with the potential to open dramatically the market for a wide range of applications of this versatile metal.

T-mag high integrity magnesium castings

The CSIRO T-Mag casting technology is your solution for light-weight, high-integrity heat treatable magnesium alloy castings.

Self aware materials and nano-sensing

The capability is developing materials that can sense, interpret and response to changes in their environment without the aid of external intervention.

DCM microstructures

DCM technology has been implemented as DCM software which takes X-ray CT images as input and produces compositional microstructures and some material properties as output.

Advanced characterisation

Advanced characterisation is critical to the development and successful deployment of new metal production processes, new alloys and material applications of additive manufacturing to industry.
