Corrosion Resistance
Continuous Cast In Deicer Application - The net shaping of components using continuous casting has helped customers avoid expensive machining and milling cost, even for smaller parts.
Controllable Pitch Hub - Large MetalTek bronze centrifugal components in marine applications have eliminated fabrication costs, and defects only found after machining.
Hastelloy Alloy Development - A valve customer's desire to move into new markets was limited by their inability to find a foundry to co-develop a special alloy, until they came to MetalTek.
Memorial Benches - Designers of the benches for the Pentagon Memorial came to MetalTek for help in alloy selection and product design for a memorial built to "last a lifetime".
Powerplant Impellers - MetalTek has produced impeller components in next generation duplex and super austenitic stainless steels for high corrosion and brackish water environments.
Shaft Sleeves - Early alloy development and homogeneous grain structure have established MetalTek as the world's leading producer of naval shaft sleeves.
Sigma Blades - By managing sources of part distortion in the manufacturing process and developing a special alloy, MetalTek was able to provide a mixer manufacturer with large components that would fit into an especially tight tolerance envelope.
Waterjet Rotor - The unique combination of very large intricate investment casting and a highly corrosion-resistant alloy was the solution in a new marine propulsion system.
Winch Drum Assembly - When a defense customer changed to non-asbestos linings for a brake application, MetalTek developed a Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) material that reduced operating cost by 90%.
