Seco Warwick, Meadville, Pa., announces that its subsidiary Retech Systems LLC, Ukiah, Calif., has developed metal gas atomization systems that combine melting of reactive metals and alloys with inert gas atomization to meet a variety of powder specifications. Designed in a range of capacities, from laboratory and pilot to large-scale production, Retech’s systems are tailored to achieve specific customer demands .
Products include powder metallurgy technologies that utilize gas atomization to produce powders that meet specific quality requirements. For example, vacuum induction melting (VIM) and casting systems are designed to easily handle a wide range of materials for automotive and consumer products, as well as critical, high-value equiax, directionally solidified, or single-crystal aerospace parts.
Cold wall induction (CWI) melting systems enable casting of titanium parts for demanding applications. Vacuum arc remelt (VAR) and consumable casting (skull melting) systems are designed for the manufacture of aerospace, consumer, and commercial products. Plasma arc melting (PAM) and electron beam (EB) melting systems are engineered for production of ingots and electrodes.
