Philadelphia-based Carpenter Technology Corp., a producer and distributor of specialty alloys, including titanium alloys, nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys, stainless steels, alloy steels, and tool steels, has purchased MB CalRAM LLC, a provider of powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing metal printing services.
