Carpenter Technology Corporation
Carpenter Technology Corporation develops, manufactures, and distributes stainless steels and corrosion-resistant nickel, copper and titanium alloys as well as powdered alloys for 3D additive manufacturing. In fiscal year 2018, the company's revenues were derived from the aerospace and defense industry (55%), the industrial and consumer industry (17%), the medical industry (8%), the transportation industry (7%), the energy industry (7%), and the distribution industry (6%). The company's products are used in landing gear, shaft collars, safety wires, electricity generation products, intervertebral disc arthroplasty, and engine valves and weldings.
The company was founded by James Henry Carpenter and a small group of New York City investors in Reading, Pennsylvania on June 7, 1889, as the Carpenter Steel Company.
In November 1896, the United States Secretary of the Navy referred to the company's armor-piercing projectiles as "the first made that would pierce improved armor plate." The routing of the Spanish fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War of 1898 was credited in part to projectiles made by Carpenter.
In 1903, Carpenter's "special" steels were used in the engine of the Wright brothers' maiden flight.
In 1905, the company developed a prime grade chrome-nickel steel and by 1908 it had created 10 other steels that were used to make automobile chassis. "Old 16", the race car that won the Vanderbilt Cup in 1908, included front and rear axles, crankshaft, gears, and other parts fabricated from Carpenter steel.
In 1917, the company manufactured its first high-strength, chemical-resistant stainless steel, which was immediately used in airplane engine components, cutlery, and spark plugs.
Components of the engine of the "Spirit of St. Louis", Charles Lindbergh's plane that flew across the Atlantic Ocean in May 1927, were made from Carpenter steel. An identical engine had powered Richard E. Byrd's flight to the North Pole in 1926.
In 1928, the company introduced the first free machining steel. It was 0.15% sulfur to make it easier to machine.
