The CDTI Innovation seeks a Spanish company to collaborate with China in the development of new metal glass compounds for extreme environments
The initiative aims to develop new metal glass compounds specifically designed to operate in extreme environments, ensuring high wear and corrosion resistance through innovative solutions oriented to future industrial applications.
The project seeks to develop new metal glass compounds of high wear and corrosion resistance for applications in extreme environments and currently has the participation of the Liaoning Academy of Materials (Liaoning Academy of Materials, LAM) and the National Center for Metallurgical Research (CENIM-CSIC), which collaborate in the scientific development of these new materials.
The search is aimed at a Spanish company interested in the application of these materials in the form of coatings, which has its own facilities for the realization of metallic coatings and test capabilities that allow to characterize the behavior of the materials against corrosion in the conditions of use required by the end customers.
The selected company will actively participate in the co-design of the solutions, the industrial validation of the new compounds and the application of the coatings according to the needs of the market.
The proposal aims to present the 8th call for R&D projects of the technological cooperation program with China (CHINEKA), which is scheduled to be launched in the last quarter of 2026.
CHINEKA is the bilateral program of technological cooperation and joint innovation between companies of Spain and entities of the People's Republic of China, managed by CDTI Innovation and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MOST). Since its creation in 2005, it constitutes an official framework to promote business projects oriented to the development of new products, processes and innovative services oriented to the international market.
