The USA is accelerating the rebuilding of its rare earth magnet supply chain. The question is: who provides the key technology at the very beginning of that process?

Retech, a company within the SECO/WARWICK Group, will supply strip casting systems supporting NdFeB magnet production in the United States.

This is not “just another machine.” It is the foundation of the process — the rapid solidification of alloys into thin strips that become the base material for magnets used in electric motors and future technologies.

Because the properties of a magnet are not created at the end of the process. They begin here — with precise control of atmosphere, cooling, and crystallization.

“Advanced magnet manufacturing requires precision at every stage of the process…” emphasizes Earl Good, Vice President of the Vacuum Metallurgy Segment at the SECO/WARWICK Group and Managing Director of Retech.

Trial today, advantage tomorrow – SECO/WARWICK helps Partners win through innovation ❗

SECO/WARWICK shows that innovation doesn’t end in the laboratory — it actually begins there.

In advanced R&D centers in , the , and , heat treatment and metallurgical processes are tested under near-industrial conditions, even before they reach serial production.

Gas hardening, aluminum brazing, or modern powder metallurgy — each technology goes through a verification stage here that minimizes implementation risks and accelerates development.

This combination of research, engineering, and cooperation with science means that SECO/WARWICK not only responds to the needs of industry but actively co-creates its future.

WHEN THE ENVIRONMENT IS EXTREME, THE POWDER HAS TO BE PERFECT

❓WHAT WE DO:

Retech’s Plasma Gas Atomizers (PGA200 and PGA300) produce highly spherical, ultra-clean refractory metal alloy powders for additive manufacturing and high-temperature, harsh-environment applications.

By combining Plasma Arc Melting with gas atomization, the system processes alloys that other methods cannot handle, including those too brittle to form into a wire or bar, and alloys not commercially available as feedstock.

❓WHO IT’S FOR:

Aerospace and defense manufacturers, energy and renewables developers.

❗TECHNOLOGY & SCOPE:

• PGA: Ideal for alloy powder process development and bridging new equipment fabrication schedules
• Accepts revert and other feed forms, enabling cost-effective recycling of high-value materials
• Spherical powder with minimal satelliting and low internal porosity, validated in published research

❗WHAT YOU GAIN:

• Powder production for alloy systems other atomization methods cannot process
• R&D through production-scale quantities on a single integrated Retech platform
• Powder engineered for the most demanding additive manufacturing tolerances
