Hogen Industries, Inc. established the standard for Chatter Free™ machining and grinding. It is used for end mill extensions, arbors, tool holders, grinding quills, and boring bars. When using Chatter Free material, you can make heavier cuts at increased speeds. Longer tool extensions are possible with ratios of up to 9:1, depending on the diameter. (read more)

Tungsten and molybdenum play an important role in today's state-of-the-art medical equipment. Elmet has significant experience in developing and manufacturing key components for equipment for a variety of devices, including x-ray tubes, collimators, and CT equipment. We have also co-developed and manufactured next-generation sub-assemblies at our clean room manufacturing center. (read more)

Hogen Industries' Durakut tungsten composites are used worldwide for electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrochemical machining (ECM) electrodes. All material is manufactured by the press, sinter, and infiltrate process. (read more)

The high physical and mechanical properties of Duralloy, as well as the thermal and electrical conductivity of refractory metal composites, make these materials very suitable for die inserts and electrode facings, flash and butt welding dies, and hot upsetting. Duralloy can also solve heat balance problems. (read more)

High temperature industrial furnaces frequently require tungsten components for their successful operation. Tungsten rod or flat sheet heating elements are used in vacuum and hydrogen furnaces. Tungsten metal is also used for heat shielding and other furnace components and structures. (read more)

Tungsten possesses a number of unique properties. Among them is its melting point of 3410° C. In addition, it has good thermal and electrical conductivity as well as low vapor pressure at high temperatures. Such properties make tungsten metal a candidate for use as a high performance material in a variety of high temperature products and processes. (read more)
