Research articleWhat PREN means and what it does not proveA useful way to rank stainless steels, and one of the most over-read numbers in materials practice. Research articleWhat is alloy screeningScreening is the fast, approximate first pass that narrows the field before the slow and expensive work begins. Research articleHow composition affects stainless steel screeningShift a point of molybdenum or a fraction of carbon and the screening numbers move, sometimes across a category boundary.

Who we are

A specialist institute for materials, advanced manufacturing and metallurgy.

MatAMet brings reference data, research interpretation, technical workspaces, industrial geography and market context into one public-facing institute.

About MatAMet
Independent by design.

MatAMet is built as a focused institute for the materials and manufacturing community—not as a generic technology portal.
