BCAST – Brunel University London

About us

BCAST, based at Brunel University London is an academic research centre focusing on both fundamental and applied research on solidification of metallic materials.

BCAST is an internationally leading research centre and major global driving force for providing new knowledge, new processing technologies, new materials and their industrial applications in the area of light metals, and training future leaders in the field of metallurgy.

BCAST Objectives

– To deliver nucleation-centred solidification science to underpin full metal circulation.
– To develop a group of resource efficient light metal processing technologies to enable full metal
circulation.
– To develop a rationalised family of metallic materials, which are not only of high performance but are also
closed-loop recyclable, to facilitate full metal circulation.
– To develop exemplary industrial applications to demonstrate the impact of full metal circulation.
– To develop strong international collaborations with world renowned research centres to magnify our
effort for full metal circulation. This will be achieved by forging strong industrial links, in particular
strategic industrial partnerships.
– To train the future leaders in this field who will sustain the legacy of full metal circulation and deliver its
long lasting impact.
