The nuts and bolts of fighting rust.

A revolution in materials along side advances in manufacturing techniques is creating an industry sector focused on higher performance, increased safety and lower costs. Washington State businesses like Seattle-based Modumetal are on the leading edge of redefining manufacturing.

At the nano-structural level Modumetal has developed corrosion resistant alloys. The process represents a completely new way of producing the nuts, bolts and unique parts that hold together industrial structures from airplanes and oil rigs to cars and the bridges they travel on. Corrosion and structural integrity have long been a challenge with metal parts and Modumetal is bringing nanolaminated, iron-based alloys that out-perform conventional steels.
