1940's
Carpenter Technology invents the first “Rustless Steel”; 303 Stainless. It further cemented our position as an industry leading materials manufacturer.
1941
In 1962, Carpenter Technology metallurgists developed PROJECT 70 Stainless, the pre-eminent machining bar of its time, that continues to this day.
1962
Carpenter Technology develops Aermet® 100 alloy, the first of two companion grades which have been used for landing gear components and other critical aircraft parts. The materials are heat-treated resulting in ultrahigh strengths.
1993
Carpenter Technology first introduces the Custom 465 alloy to the aerospace industry in 1997. It has greatly exceeded expectations and finds a home in a myriad of applications across a diverse set of industries.
1997
Because of its combination of stress-corrosion-cracking resistance, chloride pitting resistance, high strength, and low magnetic permeability SCF 19® Max has been used as a nonmagnetic drill collar and MWD/LWD housing alloy in some of the harshest drilling environments.
2006
Following on the heels of the Project 70 stainless product, Carpenter Technology introduces Project 70+ PDB Stainless, a cold-drawn alternative to ground bar
2002
Founded in 1889, the company has grown from one location in Pennsylvania to dozens throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Our product line has expanded from one tool steel to hundreds of stainless steels and specialty alloys that help to meet the materials needs of a modern world.
1889
Two major benefits of the electroslag remelting process (ESR) and vacuum induction melting process (VIM) are reduced gas content and good chemistry control.
