Increased volumes across all sectors for superalloys - Secure your Q3 alloy requirements now!

As global demand for high‑temperature grade superalloy cast bar stick continues to grow—driven by the expansion of IGT, aerospace, space exploration, and other extreme‑temperature applications—Ross & Catherall remain well positioned to support these critical sectors.

Through sustained investment in technical capability, raw‑material strategy, and increased melting capacity, we continue to deliver the resilience and scalability required by today’s advanced engineering environments.

Many high‑temperature superalloys rely on specific alloying elements to achieve the required performance at elevated temperatures. Materials such as Hafnium (Hf), Tungsten (W), and Tantalum (Ta) have seen significant cost increases and, in some cases, constrained availability as global trade tariffs and wider geopolitical pressures impact supply chains.

Thanks to decades‑long supplier relationships and a robust procurement strategy, Ross & Catherall have continued to secure these critical elements—where others have faced supply limitations—albeit at current market rates. As a result, Hafnium‑based superalloys now account for approximately 35% of our annual alloy production, reinforcing our proven expertise and scalable production capability in these increasingly vital alloy families.

Ross & Catherall remain committed to supporting market growth through experience, technical leadership, and secure supply.

If your alloy volumes are increasing, or if your current supplier is struggling to meet demand, we may be able to help. We are currently reviewing our forward melt capacity and plans for Q3 and beyond to align our melting and staffing requirements with customer demands to ensure both flexibility and security of supply.

Ross & Catherall operates the most flexible melting capability of any major OEM‑approved superalloy producer worldwide.

With eight melting furnace options and a wide range of batch configurations, we can accommodate melts from:

• 500 kg (1,100 lbs)
• 2,500 kg (5,500 lbs)
• 2,800 kg (6,200 lbs)
• 4,000 kg (8,800 lbs)
• 6,000 kg (13,200 lbs)
• 7,200 kg (15,800 lbs)

This flexibility allows us to tailor production precisely to your volume, alloy, and scheduling requirements.
