Capabilities
Elmet Technologies leverages fully-integrated production capabilities to ensure precision, material performance, and quality control. Our manufacturing process involves advanced powder metallurgy methods and specialized manufacturing techniques that transform our refractory metal materials into finished products for our customers. We ensure consistency from powder to product.
Key production capabilities include: alloy development, rotary forging, extrusion, hot and cold rolling, additive manufacturing, sintering, swaging, advanced machining, and more. Elmet has three U.S. manufacturing sites that complement one another. Each has its own dedicated center of excellence. Our products and solutions push far beyond the performance limits of ordinary metals.
Isothermal
Forging
In isothermal forging, dies are heated to the same temperature as the forged part. It is conducted on superalloys, in a vacuum or a highly-controlled atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
Advanced
Capabilities
Elmet Technologies offers extensive application knowledge, experience, capabilities, and advanced technological processes that enable us to customize our alloys to meet precise requirements.
Diffusion
Bonding
In diffusion bonding, a solid-state welding technique is utilized, typically implemented by applying high pressure, along with necessarily high temperature, to the materials to be welded.
End-to-end manufacturing capabilities
Starting with powder metallurgy, we control every step of the manufacturing process: from blending and alloying, pressing and sintering, to machining and fabrication. Our unparalleled product line covers several forms, from high-purity tungsten and molybdenum powders, to finished mill products and components. Our full process capabilities ensure consistent quality and reliable performance.
