Welcome to 3ALP
the « Advanced Aluminium Alloys Partnership »
between SIMaP and Constellium !
3ALP is a common laboratory between SIMaP (CNRS, Grenoble INP, UGA) which is one of the leading academic research labs for physical metallurgy and thermodynamics, and the R&D centre C-TEC of Constellium, a world leader for innovative, value added aluminium products.
The creation of 3ALP crystallises a large-scale partnership between SIMaP and Constellium C-TEC which builds upon at least 40 years of already fruitful collaborations around conception of aluminium alloys, and the relationship between materials microstructure and their properties.
