The Missing Intelligence Layer

Every major industry built a digital brain.
Metals never did. We're changing that.

METALLAI turns weeks of metallurgical trial-and-error into overnight answers. Physics-aware AI for alloy prediction and inverse design — so engineers stop guessing and start designing, on the first try.

Why Now

Pharma has computational discovery. Semiconductors have process simulation.
Metals still run on trial & error.

Every alloy, every heat, every process window — still figured out one melt at a time. Decades of metallurgical intuition are retiring out of the industry with nowhere to go.

Pharma → Computational Discovery Semiconductors → Process Simulation Aerospace → Digital Twins Metals → Still Trial & Error

— What METALLAI Changes

Without AI
  • Multiple trials to hit spec
  • Each off-spec heat → scrapped
  • Weeks of delay per order
  • Relies on senior metallurgist intuition — no digital record
With METALLAI
  • 1–2 high-confidence trials
  • Off-spec heats rescued by adjusting heat treatment
  • Predictions in seconds
  • Expertise captured as computable knowledge
80%
Fewer experiments to hit target properties

  • Trade-off landscape visualization
  • Faster time-to-certification
How AutoForge Works

Give us the targets.
Get back a family of feasible routes.

Engineers don't ask "what are the properties?" — they ask "how do I achieve them?" AutoForge inverts the problem: from target window to composition + process, in seconds.

01

Define Targets

Set yield, UTS, elongation, hardness — plus composition & process constraints.

02

Virtual Exploration

Quantum-hybrid search scans millions of composition + process combinations autonomously.

03

Physics Validation

Every candidate gated by thermodynamic, kinetic & weldability checks. No hallucinations.

04

Pareto-Ranked Results

A family of feasible routes — balanced, aggressive, cost-optimal. You pick the trade-off.

"AutoForge doesn't hand you one answer. It hands you the trade-off landscape — and lets the engineer decide."
Validated Use Cases

From our LinkedIn series:
real alloys, real labs, real numbers.

Two case studies showing METALLAI in action — one for forward prediction, one for inverse design. Both experimentally validated or benchmarked against industry practice.

Use Case #1 · Prediction

Can AI Reduce Alloy Development to a Single Trial?

Alloy: 42CrMo4 · Quench & Temper steel

Target window: 285–340 HB hardness, 880–1080 MPa UTS. Traditional approach would need 5–10 iterations.

292HV
Predicted hardness
280–290HB

Model confidence
Outcome: hit the target window on trial #1. Not just prediction — physics-aware alloy design with ~80% tempered martensite microstructure confirmed by lab.
Use Case #2 · Inverse Design

Same Alloy. Same Composition. Different Performance.

Alloy: 300M · Ultra-high-strength aerospace steel

Targets: 1150 MPa YS, 1300 MPa UTS, 13% elongation. AutoForge returned two legitimate process routes — balanced vs. aggressive.

Outcome: same solution quality, a fraction of the compute. CE, Pcm & fatigue flagged up-front — trade-offs made explicit, not discovered on the shop floor.
The Impact

Strength. Manufacturability. Reliability.
All on the table — at the same time.

METALLAI doesn't just predict numbers. It surfaces the three-way trade-off that every metallurgist knows exists but rarely sees quantified.

80%

Fewer experiments

To hit a target property window — validated on 42CrMo4 and benchmarked on 300M aerospace steel.

17×

Faster design search

Quantum-hybrid annealing reaches the same Pareto front in 92 s vs. 1,611 s classically.

90%+

Prediction accuracy

Validated on 100+ data points at a major Turkish metal manufacturer's R&D facility.

Same Engine. New Frontier.

Can we design alloys that don't exist yet?

Not magic — the same physics-aware search, pointed at a blank slate instead of a known grade.

◉ Today

Predict & Optimize

Hit a target window inside a known alloy family. Composition + process → properties.

Inverse Design & Process Optimization

Engineers don't ask "what are the properties?" — they ask "how do I achieve them?" AutoForge flips the question: you give us the target window, we give you feasible composition + process routes.

  • Target-driven process recipes (quench, temper, cooling rate, time)
  • Pareto-ranked candidates — balanced vs. aggressive trade-offs
  • Manufacturability, fatigue & weldability gated up-front (CE, Pcm)
  • 17× faster than classical search via quantum-hybrid annealing

Currently in validation against real test data. Once verified, it will let engineers optimize processes and material performance with confidence.

Who We Are

METALLAI is building the intelligence layer the metals industry never had. Led by engineers and researchers with deep backgrounds in metallurgy, machine learning, and computational physics, we turn decades of metallurgical intuition into computable, shareable, scalable knowledge.

We're not a prediction tool. We're the institutional memory the industry is about to lose — captured, validated, and turned into a competitive advantage that scales.
