NEWS
Metal Powder Report Volume 71, Number 4 July/August 2016
Thyssenkrupp and STELIA to continue cooperation Thyssenkrupp Aerospace, which distributes metal alloys for aerospace, says that it will continue to handle the complete aluminum supply chain management for aircraft manufacturer STELIA Aerospace in France and Tunisia. Thyssenkrupp aerospace will also supply subcontractors of STELIA Aerospace.
‘The extension of the contract with STELIA Aerospace is a major move in our strategic development and shows that Thyssenkrupp Aerospace is an important partner in long-term contracts with the aerospace sector,’ said Hans-Josef Hoß, management board member of the business area materials services.
STELIA Aerospace designs and produces business and first class passenger seats, aerostructure, and pilot seats. It has a turnover of s2 billion and 6100 employees worldwide. Thyssenkrupp Aerospace; www.thyssenkruppaerospace.com
H.C. Starck joins heat treating group NEWS
H.C. Starck has partnered with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Center for Heat Treating Excellence (CHTE). The CHTE is an alliance between the industrial sector and university researchers that aims to address short and long-term needs in the heat treating and thermal processing industry. Members can help select quality research projects that help them solve today’s business challenges globally. ‘We are very excited to join the team at WPI Center for Heat Treating Excellence,’
said Dmitry Shashkov, member of H.C. Starck’s executive board and head of the fabricated products division. ‘We are [. . .] rapidly growing our business to match the demands of the global marketplace, working with OEM and aftermarket furnace manufacturers on their new designs. To match this growth, H.C. Starck has made significant investments in our fabrication capabilities and we are leading the development of new materials for high temperature applications to improve cost and performance for our customers.’
H.C. Starck focuses on developing new materials for high temperature vacuum and inert atmosphere furnaces for industrial processes such as annealing, brazing, heat treating, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), melting, pre-heating, powder processing, sintering, tempering and metal injection molding (MIM). It plans to help improve furnace cycle time, maintain temperature uniformity, and reduce carbon contamination. H.C. Starck; www.hcstarck.com
Solar Atmospheres receives Medaccred reaccreditation Solar Atmospheres has become the first company to receive MedAccred critical process reaccreditation. The company has also expanded its scope of accreditation to include hardness testing and metallography and microindentation hardness. MedAccred is an industry-managed critical process supply chain oversight program which was developed by leading medical device companies to improve device quality and improve patient safety. The first MedAccred critical process accreditation was issued in early 2015 to Solar Atmospheres Inc for heat treating.

Sinterite renews ISO accreditation Sinterite has renewed its ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation to May 2019. This allows the furnace maker to continue to perform certified calibrations for furnace users, which is required by many of the group’s customers. The accredita226
tion is with the Laboratory Accreditation Bureau (LAB), which specializes in the ISO Standard. Since first achieving this accreditation in 2013, Sinterite has improved its measurement of uncertainty to 2.48F. In addition,
the company has increased its calibration parameters to now include type N and S thermocouples. The ISO 17025 Accreditation is similar to the 9001 Standard, held by several other Gasbarre companies, but applies directly
