AMETEK SPECIALTY METAL PRODUCTS - Advanced Metallurgical Products for Critical Applications.

Our Nickel-Iron-Cobalt alloys are engineered to ASTM F15 standards for sealing materials and their specified coefficients of thermal expansion. These materials used primarily for making hermetic seals with harder glasses and ceramics (lids for hybrid packages). Nickel-Iron-Cobalt alloys include F-15 alloy, Kovar ® and Rodar ®. The low levels of impurities in the material reduce the chance of out-gassing over time; a critical role in maintaining the hermetic seal.

Our High Purity Iron is generally used as a header material for Hermetic Package applications. The material is characterized by the extremely low carbon content (below 100ppm). Additional applications are as a catalyst for synthetic diamond production.

Our sophisticated powder metallurgy process allows us to manufacture shaped components including net shapes, bar, plate, rod and tube. These custom-made components are used for critical applications in the mining and drilling, aerospace, electronics and industrial sectors. Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) We offer Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) as a replacement for Toughmet® UNS C72900 material and Beryllium Copper Alloys. AMETEK Specialty Metal Products obtained patents for its powder metallurgically produced product in 1983 and has been serving customers worldwide ever since. Key advantages include: High hardness and strength Non-magnetic properties required in bearing material Low distortion during hardening allows for the complex forming of parts and shapes prior to heat treatment without the need for costly fixtures Non-sparking and non-corrosive Anti-Galling Anti-Seizing Excellent Ductility Excellent Formability Excellent Lubricity Excellent Machinability

As a leading metal wire manufacturer, we engineer high tolerance custom shaped wire and flat wire products in a wide range of standard shapes in addition to custom shapes. The range of alloys available is nearly endless with choices from our own high purity wrought powder metallurgy alloys (nickel wire, Pfinodal® wire, Sealvar®, and Nickel Irons). We also process materials from nearly any metal wire manufacturer or rod producer on the planet including stainless wire, steel wire, aluminium wire and more. A comprehensive review of these materials can be found in our Shaped Wire Brochure Standard Shaped Wire Standard shaped wire is available from on-site tooling in round, square, and flat wire products. Edges of flat wire products can be profiled with square, rolled rounded edges, natural round edges or fully blended round edges. Applications for standard shaped wire include

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products employs a wrought powder metallurgical process to manufacture custom gauge and width strip materials used as the outside sheathing of flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire. Advantages Our high purity process allows production of wire sheathing materials with significant advantages for flux cored welding wire producers, compared to a conventional casting process. These include: Very high ductility Tight and repeatable chemistry control Availability of unique and custom chemistries High purity material for improved tool and die life Corrosion, wear and high temperature resistant Short lead times and small batch sizes Find a consolidated listing of our metal sheathing materials in our Weld Wire Sheathing Brochure. Chemistry Control We tightly control the chemistry of the incoming raw materials to ensure that trace elements are kept to a very low level. Our wrought powder metallurgy process allows chemistry flexibility

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products has built a reputation for first class product quality and reliability, and that’s why so many leading commercial and defense aviation programs use our high performance materials. 50 years Aerospace Expertise We have more than 50 years experience developing precision strip, wire and shaped component products for critical aerospace applications worldwide. Our aerospace portfolio includes: High Tolerance Custom Shaped Wire for Aircraft Push-Pull Controls Pfinodal® (C72900) Bearing Material for Landing Gear Bushings and Bearing Sleeves Specialty Shaped Wire for Lock Collar Tape used in Aerospace Rivets Highly Conductive Nickel Strip for Aerospace Electronic Connectors, Batteries, Heat Exchangers and Bellows. Lighter and Stronger Materials for Aircraft Performance At 35,000 feet, every detail matters. We’re dedicated to manufacturing precision, lightweight and high strength materials to enhance the performance and efficiency of aircraft worldwide.

Modern aircraft require dependable, high quality wire connection systems that play a crucial role in flight control performance to ensure safe transport of passengers and goods. Our high tolerance shaped wire is engineered for the production of push-pull mechanisms and custom cable assemblies used to deliver remote activation of aerospace controls. The shaped wire is used by manufacturers of these devices to build a bearing controlled linkage for applications requiring high tension and compression forces and tight radii for the wire cable assembly. Products We deliver custom wire shapes, custom alloys and precise sizes tailored to your specific push-pull control cable aircraft application. Alloys: Aluminum, carbon steel, copper, nickel alloy, nickel iron, resistance alloy, stainless steel, and other alloys such as nickel, iron and cobalt. Sizes: Super fine wire engineered from 0.004" (0.1016 mm) up to 0.250" (6.35 mm).

Aircraft applications demand bushings and bearings that deliver outstanding durability, to ensure consistent performance despite changes in temperature and air pressure. We have led the industry in the production of Pfinodal® (C72900) with superior bearing properties for aircraft landing gear material. Our production processes and heat treatments combine to ensure the high hardness required in a bearing material for aircraft bearing sleeves, and bushings for landing gear. Products We offer Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) that delivers superior mechanical and physical properties in comparison to conventional high-performance alloys. The material has been in use for more than 20 years under patent numbers 5527113 and 5552106 for rock bit bearing applications before the aerospace industry also moved towards these bushing sleeve materials for their anti-galling, low friction and high hardness characteristics.

Our highly specialized Spinodal materials are custom-engineered for electronic connectors and deliver major advantages in comparison to traditional materials such as Beryllium Copper (BeCu). We offer precision strip and wire products in alloy Pfinodal® (UNS C72900), a copper nickel tin Spinodal alloy, for the manufacturing of high performance electronic connectors in the electronics industry. Safe Alternative to Beryllium Copper (BeCu) Beryllium Copper (BeCu) materials are the historical choice for electronic connectors. Our high performance Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) delivers similar mechanical properties to Beryllium Copper but without the harmful exposure risks.
