Matthew Fonte, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Dynamic Flowform, will present at two international conferences this October.

1.     “Precise, Seamless, Superalloy Tubes Made with Flowform Process” will be the topic at the Pipe & Tube Pittsburgh 2010 Conference , October 3-5, 2010.  This conference is co-sponsored by The Tube & Pipe Association, International (TPA) USA and the International Tube Association (ITA).
 
2.     At the International Titanium Conference, Dr. Fonte will present on the “Low Cost Titanium Pipe – Flowform, Powder Titanium Tubes”, Orlando 3-6.   The US Navy – Amphibious Transport Dock will be used as a case study examining how flowformed titanium can help in three areas: affordability, weight reduction, life cycle costs

Dynamic Flowform’s NQA-1 Quality Assurance Program was approved by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).   Dynamic was added to LANL’s Approved Supplier list.    NQA-1 is a national consensus standard for development and implementation of a quality assurance program that meets the Department of Energy requirements.

Dynamic Flowform’s management team attended the AUSA Massachusetts Bay Chapter Award Dinner held on March 4, 2010 in Burlington, MA.   Before the evening’s program began, the team had the opportunity to chat with General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General , CENTCOM (US Central Command).   General Petraeus was awarded the Chapter’s 2010 Person of the Year Arthur R. McMillan Award.  “With national and international partners, U.S. Central Command promotes cooperation among nations, responds to crises, and deters or defeats state and nonstate aggression, and supports development and, when necessary, reconstruction in order to establish the conditions for regional security, stability, and prosperity.” 

General Petraeus assumed command of Central Command in October, 2008.  Previous to that, he led the Multi-National Force in Iraq.  He held top positions at the US Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth as well as on many of the missions and operations in Iraq and Bosnia.  He has held leadership positions in airborne, mechanized, and air assault infantry units in Europe and the US as well as many staff assignments including Aide to the Chief of Staff of the Army.   General Petraeus has as MPA and PH.D.  He is highly decorated within the army.  US News and World Report, Time and Esquire Magazines have all named him as one of the top leaders/ most influential people.   (Massachusetts Bay Chapter AUSA Program for the Award Dinner)

Dynamic Flowform’s management was truly honored to spend time with General Petraeus.

Dynamic Flowform has installed its seventh flowform machine.   This new equipment is capable of producing tubes that range from .500″ to 16″ diameter by 30 feet long.    The flowform machine was specifically made to produce small diameter tubes with long lengths.    This new capability opens up new flowform applications in various markets including:  oil/gas, power generation, chemical, petrochemical, food/dairy, biopharmaceutical and defense industry.  Hydraulic tubing and heat exchanger tubing made of Nickel and Titanium alloys can now be economically flowformed with this equipment.

Dynamic Flowform has installed a new, tube bending equipment capable of bending flowformed tubes up to 8.5″ diameter, with wall thickness as heavy as .500″.    We are in a constant quest to increase our capabilities and vertically integrate.    Dynamic Flowform commissioned the development of this tube bender so that we can offer our customers a one stop solution:  flowformed tubes that are bent. 

Over the past few years, Dynamic Flowform has added many non-flowformed equipment, such as forging, EDM machining and non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection equipment.    To find out more about ordering custom, seamless tubes that are bent, please contact our Sales Department at 978-667-0202.

In December 2009, Lockheed Martin (LM) bestowed upon Dynamic their “STAR Supplier Award” for the outstanding performance in production of one of their key programs.   This is a prestigious award given to only two suppliers in 2009.   Over the many years, a total of 245 suppliers have received the STAR Supplier Award out of tens of thousands of Lockheed vendors.  

Since its inception, the STAR program has been successful in creating a common corporate-wide supplier program identity and establishing a single set of criteria for evaluating suppliers and rewarding excellence across the Lockheed Martin enterprise. For Lockheed Martin’s business areas and their suppliers, the program has provided a clearer understanding of Lockheed Martin expectations and streamlined administration of supplier excellence initiatives.

Once again this spring, college and high school classes are visiting Dynamic Flowform to learn about the flowforming process and see a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant.  In a time when manufacturing is regularly being sent over-seas and there are not enough skilled engineers and machinists in our country, the Dynamic team believes that it is vital to expose young people to all of the possibilities that are offered in an American manufacturing plant.  In addition, Dynamic’s staff is committed to educating people about the innovative flowforming process so that they can begin to incorporate this beneficial process in their own designs.  Visitors are impacted when they see a 6′ workpiece and the resulting 24′ tube or hold a small preform and the post-flowform missile that our warfighters are carrying on their backs in Iraq.After a recent visit, one faculty member wrote:

Hi Matt,

Honestly, I can’t begin to thank you for the amazing day we had at Dynamic Flowform. Your presentation and then the walk through of the work area was just incredible…

I’ve been telling everyone I’ve spoken to this afternoon just how terrific it was…thanks so much for taking out so much time to prepare for our visit.  You not only represented your company well but gave our students a clear understanding of flowforming and a shining example of a true professional…
