East Troy, WI (PRWEB) August 9, 2008 — Four-time shuttle astronaut and United Space Alliance COO, Dan Brandenstein, visited Plymouth Tube Company’s Trent Mill in recognition for the AL-6XN® tubing provided for NASA’s Constellation program. Along with the acknowledgment, Dan also presented the Trent Mill a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of United Space Alliance, which is equally owned by the Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Dan was born and raised in Watertown Wisconsin, roughly an hour away from the Plymouth Tube Trent Plant.    
                                                                            
Acquired from Crucible in 2007, Plymouth Tube’s Trent Plant produces 1/8″ to 4″ diameter welded and welded and drawn stainless steel tubing including nickel and high alloys for a variety of applications. Primary products include mechanical, air cylinder, electropolished tubing, and specialty tubing products such as tubing for aircraft, sanitary, pharmaceutical, high purity, and nuclear applications.

Plymouth Tube Company’s AL-6XN® tubing was chosen as the material for all fluid systems to be used on the new Constellation launch platform, an extremely corrosive environment. When using Plymouth Tube Trent’s AL-6XN®, maintenance and time spent replacing tubes due to corrosion damage is greatly reduced. AL-6XN® is a superaustenitic stainless steel that has resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking that is much superior to that of the 300 series stainless steels.
