Electrification of transportation, greater energy efficiency and grid modernization require advances in power electronics and power conversion systems. Magnetics have presented a critical limitation in advancing these technologies. With the ability to custom engineer the features of magnetic cores, CorePower Magnetics’ components represent a step change in efficiency and power density. CorePower Magnetics’ patented combination of advanced manufacturing processes and novel materials result in up to 10x reductions in weight, 5x reductions in volume and 50% reductions in losses with no rare earth metals required. Combined with our lower operating temperatures, these benefits lead to higher current capabilities, increased electric vehicle ranges, and longer component lifetimes.

Liquid X is an electronic company that enables users to print metal traces and films that deliver results comparable to the bulk metal. The company partners with manufacturers within the electronics industry to develop and print functional components utilized in various devices, including sensors; heating elements; smart textiles, and many others. Liquid X inks are unique because, unlike other metallic conductive inks, their products contain actual metal atoms, not nanoparticles or metal flakes. The processing parameters of Liquid X metallic inks are attractive due to the low conversion temperatures and short processing times. The resulting films or traces exhibit desirable characteristics such as high conductivity, thin and precise features, and excellent adhesion. An advantage of the low temperature processing is the ability to use of a wide range of substrates from fibrous materials such as paper and gauze to flexible, organic material such as plastics. In addition, low viscosity provides the opportunity for the use of a variety of deposition methods such as inkjet, slot die, flexography, offset, and gravure.
Summit Materials offers advanced materials and near-net shape manufacturing processes that save companies time and money in demanding industries such as aerospace, medical devices and oil exploration. Our patented SM-100™ alloy is used where corrosion and wear resistance are needed simultaneously. Efficient use of raw materials ensures minimal waste and environmental impact.
PITTSBURGH IRON OXIDES LLC (“PIROX”) manufactures 98%+ pure synthetic magnetite (SuperMagnetiteTM). SuperMagnetiteTM has a unique combination of magnetic properties (remnance, saturation, and coercivity) which are derived from its purity, particle size (2 to 10 microns), and particle shape. These attributes allow PIROX to compete strongly in some very large markets that include the manufacture nutrients, rust inhibition, pollution control (mercury and sulfur-dioxide removal), and the manufacture of iron phosphate for the food and batteries market.
