ATI to supply nickel-base alloy plate for a pipeline project
November 26, 2014

Allegheny Technologies Inc., Pittsburgh, has received an additional order for its nickel-base alloy plate for a large oil and gas pipeline project. ATI previously announced that it had booked initial orders for this project. Shipments are scheduled to begin in late fourth quarter 2014 and continue through the first half of 2015.
"Total expected revenue of approximately $145 million from these orders represents the largest participation in a project in ATI's history," said Rich Harshman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "For perspective, expected revenue from these orders is greater than 25% of ATI's sales to the Oil & Gas/Chemical Process Industry for the first nine months of 2014. We received a large share of this project due to the quality of our nickel-based alloy plate that is enabled by ATI's unique supply chain, including our Flat Rolled Products segment specialty alloy plate facility."

Beralcast beryllium-aluminum alloys under consideration for F-35 Lightning II optical components
Source:
IBC Advanced Alloys Corp., Wilmington, Mass., reports that its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, IBC Engineered Materials Corp., is working directly with Lockheed Martin to develop specific investment-cast optical components on the F-35 Lightning II aircraft to demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of Beralcast beryllium-aluminum alloys. Beralcast principal alloys are more than three times stiffer than aluminum, with 22% less weight. They can be precision cast for simple and complex three-dimensional stability. These high modulus alloys are ideal for high-performance industrial and high-tech components, as well as for a wide range of aerospace applications.
This collaboration enables IBC to demonstrate its expertise and industry leadership in offering rapid prototyping and advanced materials solutions to provide investment cast parts to aerospace customers with short lead times and competitive pricing.
"IBC Engineered Materials is excited to be collaborating with Lockheed Martin and believe we will demonstrate the viability of our Beralcast alloys and cast components as mechanically compliant and cost effective components for the F-35 Lightning II program," said Ray White, President of IB-EMC. "We hope that IBC's partnership and collaboration with Lockheed Martin will advance the potential for our engineered materials products for other aerospace industry initiatives where modulus, weight, and cost are important design criteria."
