    MagnaTech is a company that has been in business for 26 years. Our purpose is to assist companies in research in specialized areas of powder metallurgy, magnetic materials and applications,  low alloy and stainless steels, and  surface coatings and processes. During our existence MagnaTech has been awarded one patent and is currently apply for two more from work recently completed on two Department of Defense SBIR Phase I contracts. In the past 10 years MagnaTech has been favored in receiving  five SBIR Phase I contracts. In the 26 years of business MagnaTech has been instrumental in the growth of many small starter companies to multimillion dollar companies.

    MagnaTech has several problems. One is that people do not answer telephones in the current age. With return call systems, calls are screened and if the person is not known, then the individual contacted is discourteous to not return the call. We realize that people are being plagued with unwanted calls and that they are overworked, but at least people in past jobs were courteous to return a call. One company that is currently a multimillion dollar company grew and thrived because they made one call and it was answered promply for the benefit of both parties. In addition, people today do not bother to answer e mails either, owing to the volume of SPAM that they wade through every day. How can people establish a business relationship, if there is no communication?

    MagnaTech is therefore establishing their BLOG in the hopes that the content will be sufficiently interesting to establish contacts to mutual advantage. MagnaTech currently has completed two Department of Defense, Navy Air Phase I Sbir contracts and is currently moving for patent protection in respect to the innovative technology that has been developed. MagnaTech expects to be offered an opportunity to participate in a Phase two effort. The technology is in the field of wear resistant coatings, specifically involving carburizing and nitriding. MagnaTech has already petitioned the Patent Office for one patent. The second is currently being constructed. MagnaTech is seeking prime contractors that will help transfer this technology into commercial practice.

    More recently a BAA has been issued regarding research in casting technology. It appears that so much of this industry has been either ceased or transferred to China that the Defense department is either experiencing long time for delivery or faulty parts. They have recently issued the BAA with ten specific research areas in mind. MagnaTech has not done extensive work with foundries, however, MagnaTech may have equipment and ideas that have not been considered. MagnaTech is therefore seeking a partner to participate in participating in this technology. The ideal partner would be a small foundary that does not have the time for research but would like to expand and have casting capability to produce castings of reasonable quality.

    MagnaTech would welcome your correspondence. We reply normally within one day to all telephone calls, e mails and other correspondence. We welcome problems that you neither have the time nor the expertise to handle, specifically in the areas cited above.
