5. HISTORY

6. At the time Paul Kervick acquired the assets of H.E. Holbrook Drop Forge (HDF) from Harrison
Holbrook, Jr. in 1968, the company had 38 employees and sales and revenues of approximately
$950,000 a year in carbon, low alloy, and stainless steel forgings to New England manufacturers.
HISTORY
In 1979 the company doubled its’ forging capacity by building a state of the art facility that met or
exceeded all environmental standards for hydrocarbon emissions, noise pollution, vibration
abatement, and ventilation for heat stress.
KomTeK also incorporated CNC programmable Banning hammers for manufacturing high
temperature, super alloys. As a result, KomTeK was the first domestic forge shop to manufacture
cobalt-chrome hip prosthetics.
KomTeK broke new ground again by acquiring an investment casting research and development
facility called Alloys Research Inc. in 1981. The facility was relocated from Bristol, N.H. to
Worcester in 1984 and integrated into a new 24,000 Square foot facility that included a new tool
and die shop.
The company added a new 100 pound vacuum furnace to expand its’ casting capabilities in 1999.
This investment allows KomTeK to produce larger equiax vacuum grades of nickel and cobalt
alloys.
From 1999 to 2001 KomTeK introduced two hybrid proprietary technologies, ComTech Castings®
and KomTeK MMC®.
Since the Kervick family acquisition; KomTeK Technologies has continuously transformed itself
into a respected global producer of highly engineered boutique products for aerospace, medical,
commercial petrochemical, and nuclear markets through strategic investments in equipment and
material science, its facilities and lean manufacturing practices.

16. CASTINGS

17. KomTeK Technologies’ casting facility began operation in 1984,
specializing in the production of nickel and cobalt-based air-melt super
alloys. This facility has developed an exceptional reputation and technical
CASTINGS
expertise in the aerospace and medical prosthetic device markets.
The manufacturing process is very closely controlled to achieve
consistency.
• Temperature and humidity are maintained within 3% in the wax, shell
and drying departments.
•CAD and solidification software are used in pre-manufacturing
development.
•To guarantee consistency between heats, only one heat per shell is cast at
a time.
•We focus on exceptionally high yield per pour instead of maximizing
pounds cast per hour.
The coordination of these efforts coupled with SPC and CMM guarantee
the highest degree of dimensional and metallurgical uniformity part to part.

22. HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

23. The Comtech Casting® process is a hybrid processing technique that
combines the technologies of investment casting and close-die forging. The
end result is a product with forge quality strength and ductility. The
finished product is identical to forgings derived from mill wrought raw
material. This invention mimics the process used by bar mills to roll ingots
into bar. Due to this innovation, KomTeK Technologies is able to offer
forged products at significantly reduced prices by bypassing the value
added processes incurred by specialty mills to reduce tons of material into
small diameter bars.
The data presented here reflects results achieved for both the Comtech
Casting and KomTeK MMC (metal matrix composite) hybrid forging
technologies. These technologies also allow for the "customizing" of alloys
for specific applications.
The processes represented by this data are applicable to many different
alloys and markets applications. The advantages of these hybrid
technologies are reduced cost and shorter lead-times.

24. Scope
This information is representative of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy high-strength
cobalt- chromium- high-
forgings for hip prosthesis. The material is comparable to Specification ASTM-F75 and
Specification ASTM-
F-799. The reported properties are an average of all independent laboratory testing and
laboratory
represents a minimum of 500 tests.
Significance and Use
The purpose of this information is to identify a low cost alternative to forged CoCrMo

Mechanical Requirements
The data in Table's I through 4 compares the results of the Comtech Casting to the
requirements of ASTM-F75 and F799. Grain sizes are a minimum of five or finer.

Rationale
The Comtech Casting is currently the only alternative to a traditional forged product from
forged
wrought material. The reported tensile strengths are comparable with the minimum
requirements of the wrought and forged specifications ASTM-F1537 and F799. The
ASTM-
resulting microstructure is far superior in both carbide distribution and grain size. These
distribution
results were achieved without incorporating hot isostatic pressing or solution annealing.

30. Environmental System:
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS
The Environmental system starts with approval procedures for all new materials entering
our facility. The company maintains a database for all approved materials and requires the
approval of Safety, Engineering, and department supervisors for use of any new product.
These steps are taken to insure the safety of our employees and compliance to State and
Federal regulations.
We recognize the cost and liability of toxic chemicals and are committed to their reduction
or elimination whenever possible. The company has received the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Governors Award for our efforts in toxic use reductions.
As a company we encourage toxic use reduction and promote it as part of our continuous
process improvement and waste minimization efforts.
The hazardous materials handling, storage and disposal is done in a manner to meet or
exceed all state and federal regulations. KomTeK monitors its wastewater holding tank with
the help of warning alarms. Procedures are in place to shut down processes to prevent
environmental problems.
Scrap Handling:
Scrap metals generated by forging and investment castings processes are placed in properly
marked containers for resale. Production parts deemed scrap are disfigured before
discarding and placed in proper scrap containers.
