Custom Alloys for Research & Development

Many foundries lack the capability in producing small order quantities for R&D purposes. With our unique test furnaces, Belmont Metals is positioned to supply just that to companies and institutions who are testing the properties and feasibility of various alloy families.

With minimum order quantities ranging from five to ten pounds, depending on alloy composition, costs can be controlled in metal procurement and thus re-purposed in other facets of research and development.

In addition, with the unmatched variety of our product catalog, we are in a unique position to offer you unbiased metallurgical advice to assist you with your work.

Furthermore, once a desired specification is met, we are also positioned in scaling up the production of the alloys to meet your production needs.
