Performance by the Numbers
Extraordinary Performance Starts at the Atomic Level.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary materials can come down to elements measured in fractions of a percent - and what happens to them next. ATI controls chemistry, purity and microstructure through advanced processing to engineer materials around the performance each application demands.
Control the Chemistry.
Performance starts with what goes into the material. ATI's capabilities range from separating zirconium and hafnium to refining refractory metals and precisely melting highly alloyed nickel superalloys - giving us exceptional control where chemistry and purity matter most.
Engineer the Microstructure.
Making the chemistry is only the beginning. Melting, forging, rolling, heat treatment and powder processing develop the grain structure and material properties that determine how an alloy performs in service.
Develop What Comes Next.
When applications push beyond today's material limits, ATI develops the next answer. Our materials scientists work alongside customers and research partners to advance new alloys and the processes required to move them from development toward production.
Find Your Material
Different challenges demand different materials.
There is no single "best" alloy. The right answer depends on what the application asks the material to do - carry more load, shed weight, withstand more heat, resist corrosion, survive radiation or deliver several of those properties at once. ATI's portfolio gives engineers options across that performance spectrum.
