May 19, 2006 – Raymor Industries announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, AP&C Advanced Powders and Coatings has received an order from Boeing (NYSE: BA) for the purchase of spherical nitinol powder for use in its next generation of composite aerospace applications.
Nitinol refers to a group of alloy made primarily of nickel and titanium. After bending or deforming, nitinol regains its original geometry by itself during heating or simply during unloading, properties useful for composites in aerospace applications.
Raymor develops and produces single-walled carbon nanotubes, nanomaterials and advanced materials.
