A British steel foundry has become the first company in the world to manufacture castings using an innovative new series of high strength austenitic stainless steels. Furniss & White, which specializes in high integrity stainless steel castings, fabrications, and precision machining, signed a long-term agreement to produce its castings using high-performance alloys from the N’Genius Series under license.
The Sheffield-based firm has successfully completed a range of manufacturing procedure qualification tests at its facilities in various grades from the N’Genius Series and will be providing castings for engineering products made using these advanced materials to its customers. The N’Genius Series, which is patent protected in thirty countries, represents the total reinvention of conventional austenitic stainless steels, commonly known as the 300 Series.
Dr Ces Roscoe, CEO of N’Genius Materials Technology and inventor of the N’Genius Series, says, “Furniss & White is a company that shares our own passion and drive for innovation and we are absolutely delighted to be collaborating with them on what is destined to be an industry changing technology.”
“We expect these game-changing N’Genius materials will be extremely popular with our existing customers,” adds Sam Scholes, managing director at Furniss & White.
