Elgiloy

What Elgiloy does

Elgiloy Specialty Metals (legal entity: Combined Metals Company LLC) is a U.S.-based precision specialty metals manufacturer founded in the 1940s and headquartered in Elgin, Illinois. The company operates three Illinois production sites — Elgin (Strip Division headquarters), Hampshire (Stainless Steel Strip rolling mill, established 1998), and Sycamore (Wire Division) — and serves customers globally through international representative offices in the UK, Germany, Italy, and China.

The company's core technology is precision cold rolling and wire drawing of stainless steel and high-performance nickel, cobalt, and titanium alloys into strip, foil, and wire products. Manufacturing capabilities include 20Hi precision rolling mills with X-ray and Vollmer contact gages coupled with mass flow automatic gauge control, specialized vertical hydrogen and argon atmosphere annealing furnaces, a 100' Ebner furnace, and in-house rotary shaving, centerless grinding, and precision polishing. The company processes more than 125 alloy grades, including its proprietary namesake Elgiloy® cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy (UNS R30003), Inconel, Incoloy, Hastelloy, Monel, Nimonic, MP35N, L605, and titanium Grades 1–11 plus Beta 21S, with strip rolled down to .0008" thickness and 40" width and wire drawn from 0.001" to 0.960" diameter. An A2LA/NADCAP-certified laboratory supports tensile, hardness, metallographic, corrosion, and elevated temperature testing.

Elgiloy operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market with a Request-a-Quote pricing model across nine vertical markets: aerospace, medical, oil & gas, and power generation are primary, while chemical processing, automotive, construction, consumer, and emerging markets (hydrogen, fuel cells, fusion, space) are secondary. The company generates revenue from precision strip and foil, precision drawn wire, and value-added slitting and processing services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated. Named enterprise customers include Rolls-Royce, GE Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Mitsubishi, and BAE Systems, with extensive certifications (AS9100D, ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, NADCAP Materials Testing and Heat Treating, ITAR, DFARS, PED) creating significant barriers to entry in mission-critical applications.
