A LOOK INSIDE THE FUTURE OF METALS THE ALLOY SPECIALISTS ABOUT US The Special Metals Corporation group of companies was created in 1998 when Special Metals Corporation of New Hartford, New York, acquired Inco Alloys International, including its Huntington Alloys, Wiggin Alloys and Welding Products divisions. In 2006, Special Metals Corporation became a part of Precision Castparts Corp., a worldwide manufacturer of complex metal components and products. With a rich history of alloy technology spanning more than 100 years, Special Metals continues to carry out our LEADING vision of customer respect, product quality and innovative technology now and for the future by means of time-tested products such as world-recognized INCONEL®, INCOLOY®, NIMONIC®, UDIMET®, MONEL® and NILO® alloys. With corporate facilities collaborating to bring customers the best technical support, production capabilities and experience 100 YEARS in alloy technology, the professional scientists, engineers and technologists at Special Metals are better equipped than ever to OF ALLOY develop leading-edge materials and processes to meet industry needs worldwide. INNOVatION NEWTON, NC HUNTINGTON, WV With more than a century of experience in the invention, production and supply of high- CANNING VALE, AU HEREFORD, UNITED KINGDOM performance nickel alloys and an aggressive plan for the future, there’s no wonder Special Metals is setting design standards for engineers around the globe. As the inventor of more than 80% of the alloys on the market today, Special Metals touts the industry’s widest range of nickel alloys, cobalt alloys and product forms.
