Five decades of superalloy excellence

As we usher in the new year, we’ve taken the opportunity to refresh our company presentation to highlight the knowledge, experience, and expertise that our team bring to every order.

Over the past five years, we’ve enhanced our technical capabilities through a strategic business review. This has enabled us to provide some of the world’s most technically demanding alloys for Aerospace, Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT), Space exploration, and other high-temperature environments. This was assisted through capital investment in a new 4t melting furnace, a state-of-the-art VIM furnace, and upgrades to existing equipment and resources.

Our NADCAP and ISO17025:2017 approved laboratory has also seen further investment with new XRF analytical spectrometers and upgrades to existing equipment. We operate duplicate testing instruments to maintain uninterrupted production and ensure that the alloy meets the exact chemistry for your specifications. Additionally, we are investing in our processing and finishing areas, with a new alloy processing line on order to meet increased volumes.

While these investments in machinery and equipment are crucial, it’s our knowledge base and experienced colleagues across the entire site who make it all possible. From goods inwards, revert processing, planners, schedulers, CI, charge calculators, forklift operators, melters, laboratory and technical staff, grinders, inspectors, finishing, packing, and despatch, our team ensures that you receive the highest quality products.

With over 50 years of vacuum melting operation, we have a workforce with hundreds of years of superalloy manufacturing and processing knowledge. Our senior management team has an average tenure of 10 years, with several members boasting over 30 years of industry experience. Our technical and laboratory specialists, many with over 25 years of experience, add tremendous value to our products.

Ross & Catherall holds a prestigious position within the investment casting sector for the manufacture of superalloy cast bar stick. We continue to innovate and utilise both our processes and expertise in vacuum melting superalloy production to meet your specifications.

Our people are our strength, and together, we look forward to achieving even greater success in the coming year. Here’s to a prosperous and innovative 2025!
