(Foundation Alloy: Cambridge, MA) -- Foundation Alloy, the MIT spinout reinventing the metals industry, is announcing the launch of Molyclast, a new generation of high-performance molybdenum alloys created using the company’s proprietary MetalsFIRST technology.

Molyclast alloys feature 100x finer grains than the current state-of-the-art as well as fully isotropic properties, creating advantages uniquely accessible through the MetalsFIRST platform. A simplified approach, MetalsFIRST eliminates extensive postprocessing, hazardous hydrogen gas, and embrittling contamination common in traditional molybdenum part manufacturing.

Produced faster and more cost effectively, Molyclast parts exhibit as much as 60% increases in strength compared to their closest competitors and are compatible with advanced manufacturing methods like 3D printing. The result is unmatched engineering potential and supply chain efficiency to unlock new use cases for this material class.
