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

Our weld wire sheathing material is used in both flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire processes. The wire sheathing is formed into a tubular product by our customers and the center of the tube contains the ‘fill’ (flux, metal powders, etc) to bring the wire to the desired chemistry. The finished wire is used across a wide breadth of industries in processes such as: Submerged Arc Welding (SMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Wire Arc Thermal Spray Flux cored welding wire producers use our metal sheathing materials to prepare finished wire for thermal spray and in surfacing applications, in high temperature and corrosive environments. Cobalt Our Ductile Cobalt Alloys are used to produce wire to hardface applications in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industry. Our proprietary process allows us to offer high Cobalt containing products (91% Cobalt or more) while maintaining a highly ductile strip for wire forming.

Our ability to strategically blend alloys allows us to offer specifically blended materials such as highly alloyed Nickel-Tungsten strip (NiW) for superconducting substrates. These custom alloys are available at customer-specified chemistries and cold work. The use of Tungsten in these alloys produces a flexible strip with preferred magnetic characteristics for superconducting wire. High Temperature Superconductors Our Nickel Tungsten substrate material is used in high temperature superconductors (HTS) to carry high-density electrical currents with very little energy dissipation. This property makes high temperature superconducting wire suitable for sectors such as power generation and transmission, electric motors, and high magnetic field generation. Nickel and nickel alloys are used as substrate materials because they are flexible to the thermomechanical processing of the wire making process.

Automotive safety systems need to be reliable, accurate, and capable of saving lives. We work closely with automotive component suppliers worldwide to develop custom metal strip materials that enhance performance and safety. Precision Engineered Strip for the Automotive Industry You’ll find our strip products in many critical automotive systems in today’s vehicles including: Reed switch systems Nickel strip for EV battery connectors Electronic Connector Materials High Performance Automotive Alloys Nickel-iron compositions from 36% to 65% nickel High purity nickel Strip Spinodal alloys Safe and Efficient Automotive Material Solutions Our metallurgists engineer custom material solutions using the highest quality alloys to ensure maximum automotive performance, reliability and safety.

At AMETEK Specialty Metal Products we produce high purity nickel-iron alloy strips, which are primarily used for reed switch systems. These products are widely used in the automotive market for BMS (Battery Management Systems), improved safety in proximity sensors, and cable harness testing. Alloys Our strips are produced using nickel-iron compositions, making sure to use source metals with market leading low levels of trace elements. Alloys include: Nickel-Iron compositions from 36% to 65% Nickel. Sizes Strip thicknesses down to 0.002” (0.0508mm) and wire diameters as small as 0.005” (0.127mm). Applications Finished nickel-iron alloy reed switch systems are used within a multitude of products and devices, mainly being used in the Automotive and Electronics industries. Automotive: BMS (Battery Management Systems), automatic braking assists, door sensors and speedometers.

Materials used in Mining and Drilling are subject to some of the harshest environmental conditions in the world. We’re committed to manufacturing durable, high strength and corrosion resistant Spinodal products for vital drilling and downhole components. Unrivaled Resistance to The Harshest Environments Our Spinodal alloys are highly specialized and possess excellent corrosion resistance. They benefit from age hardening techniques that further increase their strength and hardness while offering superior mechanical and physical properties for demanding applications including: Pfinodal® (C72900) Drill Bit Material for Bearing Components such as Sleeves, Bushings, Washers and Caps Pfinodal® (C72900) and AM-388™ (UNS C72650) Shaped Charge Liner Material for Wall Perforation Pfinodal ® (C72900) Bar and Tube for Downhole Housings, Centralizers, Joints

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products has led the industry in the production of Pfinodal® (C72900), a highly specialized Spinodal alloy, with superior bearing properties. Our production processes and heat treatments combine to ensure the high hardness required in tough drill bit material for bearing components such as sleeves, bushings, washers and caps. Our Pfinodal® (C72900) bearing materials has been in use for 20 years under patent numbers 5527113 and 5552106 for these rock bit bearing applications. Advantages The near-net shape processing of our Spinodal materials eliminates waste thereby reducing cost for the finished product. We specialize in offering the turnkey solutions of materials that are machined, plated and packaged to your specifications. These can be shipped to your facilities around the world for incorporation in the bits, reamers and equipment needed to power the world.

Our Spinodal strip materials in Copper-Nickel-Tin alloys offer high ductility for forming into shaped charge liner material for the perforation of oil and gas well liners. Shaped Charge Liner Material Advantages The Spinodal material is produced through our wrought powder compaction process which imparts properties allowing the material to virtually ‘disappear’ upon activating the charge. The material is well suited to “big hole” applications for perforating charges and leaves little residue (commonly referred to as ‘carrots’ or ‘slugs’). Pfinodal® (C72900) and AM-388™ (UNS C72650) We produce two spinodal alloys for these shaped charge applications - Pfinodal® (C72900) copper alloy and AM-388™ (UNS C72650). They benefit from age hardening techniques that further increase their strength and hardness required for deep hole penetration applications. These spinodal materials deliver superior mechanical and physical properties in comparison

We manufacture bar and tube products in our corrosion resistant Spinodal alloy, Pfinodal® (C72900), for use in downhole housings, centralizers, and joints that operate in demanding subsea environments. Advantages Our Copper nickel tin Pfinodal® (C72900) bar and tube products present a combination of unique properties that deliver significant advantages for downhole oil and gas applications. Non-sparking and non-magnetic Anti-galling Anti-corrosive Heat treatable to high hardness Safe alternative to Beryllium Copper (BeCu) Pfinodal ® (C72900) Bar and Tube C72900 copper alloy materials are available in bar and tube sizes up to 6” (152.4mm) diameters as well as in both strip and plate products. Our C72900 material is generally provided as machining bar in the aged condition with many sizes available to ship from inventory. We also offer the ability to provide turnkey solutions by providing fully machined parts to OEM drawings.

Our Spinodal materials are custom-engineered for safety hand tools that are non-sparking, non-magnetic and highly corrosion resistant. They benefit from age hardening techniques that further increase their strength and hardness for high performance safety tools. Alloys AM 388™ (UNS C72650) is a copper based Spinodal alloy that offers non-sparking, non-magnetic and high strength properties. AM 388™ is accepted as a safe replacement material for Beryllium Copper alloy. Safety Tool Applications Engineered for an array of hand-held non-sparking safety tools including: Corrosion resistant wrenches Hammers, axes and picks Corrosion resistant screwdrivers, pliers and spatulas
