About Eutectix:
Eutectix
LLC manufactures metal alloys and alloy powders at its facilities in
Troy Michigan and Tolleson, Arizona. In addition to its manufacture of
bulk metallic glass alloys, Eutectix produces samarium-cobalt and
iron-neodymium-boron rare earth magnet alloys, various superalloy rods
for further fabrication into welding wire, various alloys for hydride
batteries and hydrogen fuel storage, and master alloys as ingredients
for superalloy and alnico magnet production.
Eutectix LLC was founded in 2014 via the acquisition of the Great
Western Technology manufacturing facility in Troy, MI. The facility had
originally been created by the Ovonic Battery Company subsidiary of
Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. to develop and manufacture alloy powders
for the early nickel metal hydride batteries. Subsequently, the entire
manufacturing facility of Molycorp Metals and Alloys in Tolleson, AZ,
historically focused on manufacturing rare earth magnet metals and alloy
powders, was acquired in 2016.
