Carpenter and UTC to build superalloy powder facility

IMOA publishes new molybdenum metal brochure

Molycorp names new president and CEO

Carpenter is to build a superalloy facility in Alabama, USA.

Carpenter Technology Corporation has reached a multi-level agreement with United Technologies Corporation (UTC) to supply its Pratt & Whitney Division with superalloy powders.

Carpenter also plans to build a superalloy powder facility in Alabama, near the company’s US$518 mil-lion product manufacturing plant. The facility is expected to take approximately 18 months to construct at an estimated cost of US$20 mil-lion. Carpenter will supply Pratt & Whitney with superal-loy powder for up to 20 years.

As well as this, UTC’s aero-space business units (Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation) have agreed to purchase alloy steel bar/billet, nickel super-alloy billet, stainless bar/billet, and strip laminate products from Carpenter

for a period of ten years. Carpenter currently supplies UTC’s aerospace businesses with a portion of their overall demand for nickel, stainless, and strip laminate products.

“This agreement, which could potentially yield in excess of US$600 million in sales over the term of the agreement, reinforces our belief that the investment we are making to expand capacity with our Athens Operations (Alabama) is needed and will lead to increased customer sales,” said William A Wulfsohn, Carpenter’s president & CEO.

The superalloy powder facility is expected to begin production in late 2015.

According to Carpenter, global demand for superal-loy powder is expected to grow substantially as aircraft engine operating tempera-tures increase as airlines pursue improvements in fuel efficiency.

The International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) has published an updated version of the brochure Application of Molybdenum Metal and its Alloys.

This new edition covers the production of molybde-num metal and its physical, mechanical and chemical properties, and explains how the metal and its alloys could be used in a wide range of applications.
