Materials and samples are often processed to highly technical and complex IPC, military level specifications & customer requirements
that require constant attention to obtain answers in a timely manner to in order
prevent or solve a “line down” condition. In addition we are recognized as industry experts in
identifying fraudulently altered electronic components and offer on and offsite site training to aid in preventing the
acceptance and the use of such fraudulent materials 50 NORTHWESTERN DR, SALEM, NH 03079 603-898-7074

MP35N, an ultra high tensile strength metal with good ductility and excellent corrosion resistance used for medical implants. Elgiloy has high strength, ductility, fatigue life and is corrosion resistant in numerous environments. It is excel- lent for stiffener bands and spring energized seals. Beryllium Copper has excellent conductivity for battery contact and ground spring applica- tions. It can be formed with sharp bends and heat treated for optimum spring properties.
ened grade. Nitinol is a shape memo- ry alloy with very good electrical and mechanical properties, long fatigue life, and high corrosion resistance for stents and retaining springs. Phos Bronze has good conductivity and cold workability for clutch springs,
diaphragms, and contact springs. Contact: Tech-Etch, Inc., 45
