Nanoalloying

Magna-Tech is currently in the process of extending the technology that they have recently developed to use nanotechnology to enhance wear and corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless steels. The same processing technology can also be used to through harden martensitic stainless steel parts to provide higher strength and improved toughness. Currently there are problems with skin effects that happen when steel is cast into molds. Magna-Tech believes that the process we have developed can overcome these troublesome conditions that affect the fatigue strength of castings. Magna-Tech is in the process of obtaining patent protection for the innovative process and is currently seeking financial backing to exploit the developed technology. Interested parties, either seeking a license or investment opportunities, may gain additional information by contacting Ken Moyer at moyer@snip.net.
