In this technological field, which conjugates highly refined metallurgical approaches with the philosophy of handicraft production, we are in charge of the full product cycle from the concept up to prototype testing.

With regard to the aerospace and defence sector, we focus on technologies such as liquid composite moulding techniques, which are not yet of common practice in the Italian industry.

In the field of intermetallic material, we specialize in the correlation between its chemistry, microstructure, workability and functional-related characteristics (e.g. mechanical properties, corrosion and oxidation behaviour), thanks to a right balance between the material chemistry and the thermomechanical process conditions.

Light Alloys’ exploitation for new product development is empowered by the use of refined simulation tools, allowing an easy prediction of the alloy phase composition and the assessment of its mechanical and surface properties.

Material StoryThe Sky Dome is available in both spun aluminum and pressed wood shades that give each lamp varying aesthetic properties and reflect light in unique ways.

These models also guide RINA team in defining the best deformation practices and recrystallization kinetics aimed at maximising the strength, the strain to failure and the toughness of light alloys, whilst at the same time guaranteeing the demanded geometrical tolerances of the final product prototype, both flat and 3D.

Our technological offer in the field of polymeric composites covers a wide spectrum of possibilities, embracing such topics as:

Furthermore, we are expanding our own capabilities to the super plasticity and diffusional bonding typical of aluminium, titanium and magnesium alloys, thus becoming a reliable partner for new boarder-edge product development.

This makes us involved in advanced development projects, whose success is strictly related to the technological and metallurgical key-points connected to the microstructure of super plasticised titanium and aluminium alloys.

The steep ascent of knowledge about light alloy metallurgy was matched by a striking growth of both long fibre and particulate reinforced metal matrix composites.

Direct + Indirect LightThe Sky Series utilizes a two-sided flat panel light source. It provides up to 1250 lumens of dimmable warm light in all directions.

Mimics Natural LightThe Sky Series features Dim-to-Warm Technology to provide a natural range (2700K-2200K) of warm, dimmable light in all directions.
