Carpenter Technology Corporation is planning to soon open its new superalloy powder facility in Alabama as part of a multi-level agreement with United Technologies Corporation’s (UTC) Pratt & Whitney Division.
As part of the agreement, UTC’s aerospace business units (Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp., UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation) have agreed to purchase alloy steel bar/billet, nickel superalloy billet, stainless bar/billet and strip laminate products from Carpenter for a period of ten years. Carpenter currently supplies UTC’s aerospace businesses with a portion of their overall demand for nickel, stainless and strip laminate products.
