Company completes its third patent in 2016 for
ToughMet® Alloys
Materion Performance Alloys, a Materion Corporation
(NYSE:MTRN) business, announced it has received two patents for
processes that improve the fabrication of BrushForm® 158 (BF 158),
the strip form of the company’s high-strength, copper-nickel-tin
ToughMet® alloy. The patents cover new manufacturing
technologies that combine multiple steps of thermal and mechanical
processing to produce an alloy with increased strength and improved
formability.
The new patents, US #9487850 B2 and US #9518315 B2, protect
technology used by Materion to manufacture its advanced materials
for use in the aerospace, energy and electronic markets. The
company received three patents in 2016 for its improvements to the
fabrication process of ToughMet alloys.
“The process allows for fine dispersion of tiny precipitates in
the strip which provides the enhanced properties,” said W. Glenn
Maxwell, President, Materion Performance Alloys and Composites.
“These advances and increased complexity in our manufacturing
processes enable us to produce stronger products with enhanced
formability for our customers, while helping to reduce the cost of
finished components.”
BF 158 is designed for next-generation electronics devices. The
copper-nickel-tin alloys provide optimal strength in very thin
gauges, making them ideal for use in devices such as smartphones,
tablets and cameras. The alloys offer higher strength than other
copper alloys and do not contain beryllium, so it can be used when
a beryllium-free alloy is desired. The materials are RoHS compliant
and infinitely recyclable.
Materion Corporation is headquartered in Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
Through its businesses, Materion supplies worldwide markets with
alloy products, beryllium products, electronic products, precious
metal products, and engineered material systems. Around the world,
the company's engineered materials can be found in technically
demanding end-use products within the telecommunications and
computer, automotive electronics, appliance, industrial components,
plastics tooling, optical media, oil and gas, aerospace and
defense, and off-highway and mining equipment markets. Visit
