Since 1994, Sophisticated Alloys has developed and produced high-purity custom alloys, vacuum-melted materials, and sputtering and cathodic arc targets in Butler, Pennsylvania. Its fully integrated operation can take a project from alloy research through pilot production, with five furnaces spanning batches from a few grams to 500 pounds and in-house forming, testing, and machining. The company is one of the last independent alloys companies in America, serving customers whose materials may not be available from industrial suppliers.
