A Corvallis company aiming to unlock big energy and material savings — and that means dollars — in the specialty metals industry has won a $225,000 federal grant to develop its technology.

Ampere Scientific is working on ways to more precisely control an old and inefficient process of making specialty metals ingots in vacuum arc remelting furnaces. Sounds arcane, but a lot of money could be at stake — approaching $800 million, the company believes.
