Company is Prepared for Coming Changes in Copper Alloy Market
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Materion Performance Alloys, a Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN)
business, is preparing to meet increased demand for high-strength copper
alloy strip products following the recent announcement by Mitsubishi
Electric Metecs Co., Ltd. (Mitsubishi) that it will stop production
activities of its copper alloy business effective March 2015.
As a leading global supplier providing a range of high performance alloy
products for more than 80 years, Materion offers multiple copper-based
alloys that meet or exceed properties of Mitsubishi products. For
example, the Company's BrushForm® 158 and BrushForm® 96 (BF158, BF96)
copper nickel tin strip products are drop-in alternatives for MX215 and
MX96. In addition, Materion has just introduced two new BrushForm
tempers - TM14 and TM16 - that offer even higher strength in foil gauges
as thin as .001" (.025 mm), allowing design engineers more flexibility
in next-generation electronic devices.
"We have the products and global distribution network to meet changes in
the consumer electronics market," states Jason Maher, Materion
Performance Alloys Marketing Director, Strip, Rod and Wire Products.
"Our regional offices in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore can work
with new customers to ensure replacement materials meet or exceed
strength and temperature requirements for their applications."
Materion Performance Alloys is headquartered in Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
Through its businesses, Materion supplies worldwide markets with alloy
products, beryllium products, electronic products, precious metal
products, and engineered material systems. Around the world, the
Company's engineered materials can be found in technically demanding
end-use products within the telecommunications and computer, automotive
electronics, appliance, industrial components, plastics tooling, optical
media, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, and off-highway and mining
equipment markets. Visit www.Materion.com for
