The Hanwha-Materials Joint Research Center was established with the goal of localizing key materials such as nickel and titanium, which are highly dependent on imports, and securing core technologies for advanced aircraft engines and both manned and unmanned aerial vehicle engine materials.
The Korea Institute of Materials Science, the nation’s leading materials research institute, and Hanwha Aerospace, a leader in Korea’s defense industry, plan to collaborate in building a continuous and systematic research cooperation platform through joint research, technology collaboration, and personnel exchanges.
