ATI Inc. VerifiedUS melted
Melts by vacuum arc remelting and electron beam. A domestic melt source for DFARS specialty metals purposes. MELT ORIGIN re-confirmed 2026-07-30 and corroborated rather than superseded: this is an integrated domestic producer that melts its own material. It remains a per-heat question regardless. DFARS 252.225-7009 status is settled on the mill certificate for the specific heat, not by the company record.
