If you’re wondering why this expansion was necessary, you don’t need to look much further than the markets we typically serve, which are showing signs of steady growth. Aerospace, power generation, and additive manufacturing are just some of the industries that are showing historically high demand for superalloys and other advanced materials. Rare-earth materials, specifically, have become a key point of political discussion. At a time when the United States is currently investing heavily into domestic mine-to-magnet supply chains, Consarc’s recent development of a strip casting (VIM-SC) furnace plays a crucial role in production of those rare-earth magnetic materials. With expanded manufacturing capacity, Consarc will not only be able to continue manufacturing our successful products such as VIM-SC, but we will also be able to do it faster and more efficiently, keeping up with the growing demand for our furnaces.
