Duraloy wins THIRD r&d 100 award!

For the third time, Duraloy has won the R&D 100^® award, presented annually by R&D^® magazine. R&D^® Magazine has presented the award for the last 49 years to "salute the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year." Since it's inception, the R&D 100^® award has been given to the developers of many new inventions, including automated teller machines (ATM'S), the Nicoderm^® stop smoking patch, the fax machine and HDTV.

This year, Duraloy, in association with Oak Ridge National Laboratories, won the award In the "Process Technology" category, for their development of "New Stainless Steel Alloy Tooling for High Temperature Presses that Form Aircraft Components."  In 2006, Duraloy, in conjunction with Nucor Steel and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, received the award for the introduction of "New Heat-Resistant Alloys Developed using Computer Aided Alloy Design". In 2007, Duraloy, in conjunction with Mittal Steel and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, received the award for the introduction of "Cast Nickel Aluminide for Steel Heat Treating Furnaces".

For many years, Duraloy has been the world leader in the supply of high temperature alloys that are used in Super Plastic Forming Presses (SPF). Duraloy joined forces with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to take these alloys to the next level, developing several other alloys that fit a broader range of applications and temperatures.
