Delphi Announces Agreement With Beck Aluminum to Market Delphi’s Patented K-Alloy

TROY, Mich. -- Delphi Corp. has announced a strategic licensing agreement with Beck Aluminum to produce and market Delphi’s patented corrosion-resistant K-Alloy™. The agreement is designed to improve the competitiveness of the product through increased availability at attractive prices. The Delphi agreement with Beck Aluminum helps simplify the process to gain access to the patented material.

“We are excited to announce this new relationship with Beck Aluminum,” said Timothy Forbes, Delphi director of commercialization and licensing. “Our new strategic licensing agreement will allow us to significantly increase the adoption of this outstanding alloy by increasing the availability to aluminum die casters.”

Delphi’s K-Alloy is an innovative new aluminum die casting alloy that resists corrosion. It can eliminate expensive processes such as anodizing, chromating, powder coating and painting that are designed to slow corrosion. In addition to cosmetic improvements, K-Alloy provides increased functional durability for aluminum cast components in harsh environments.
Originally developed to withstand extreme salt corrosion and temperatures, vibration and shock experienced in vehicle engine electronics, K-Alloy aluminum is now currently used or being tested on products as diverse as sporting goods, outdoor lighting, furniture, water systems, mail boxes, radios, communications enclosures and vehicle roof racks. K-Alloy has been tested to withstand 3,000 hours of salt spray testing with no metal loss or surface damage. Other aluminum alloys would require additional processes and/or coatings to withstand this harsh environment.

“Beck is ISO certified and has support resources serving an extensive customer base,” said Bryan Beck, executive vice president of Beck Aluminum. “K-Alloy’s unique qualities allow Beck to offer customers a product that will provide them with rugged durability and more process flexibility.” Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Beck Aluminum is the largest distributor of primary aluminum alloys in North America. The company currently supplies aluminum alloys for more than 700 customer locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, Beck Aluminum International was recently formed by the company to handle their growing import/export shipments. Every month Beck Aluminum sells more than 30 million pounds of aluminum products and recycles approximately 15 million pounds of scrap. “We’re pleased that we’re already producing over 100,000 pounds of K-Alloy per month at our smelter in Lebanon, PA,” Beck said. “We have already had inquiries for new programs and applications that will each require several million pounds of K-Alloy per year.”

Delphi has appointed MDW Technologies LLC (http://www.mdwtech.com/kalloy) as its technical and licensing representative to broaden its customer base. For more information about K-Alloy and MDW capabilities, contact David G. Isaacs, CEO MDW Technologies, LLC at disaacs@mdwtech.com.
