H.C. Starck Fabricated Products

About Company

The Fabricated Products (FPR) business segment of H.C. Starck converts technology metal powders: molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and tungsten (W) into customer-specific semi-finished and finished components through sintering, rolling, extrusion, rotary forging, melting, thermo-mechanical processing, machining and surface treatment. Many of the technology metal powders we use, especially tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum, are recycled materials that we process in-house.
