Co-Founder
Stephen Carr co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. (MTS Forge) in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell, building the company from the ground up on principles of quality and service. With a strong metallurgical background and extensive hands-on knowledge of forging practices, Stephen has guided MTS Forge's technical direction for nearly 40 years. His expertise spans a wide range of high-performance alloys — including nickel alloys such as Inconel 617 — and forging processes from closed die and upset forgings to contour and custom components. Under his leadership, MTS Forge has grown into a recognized industry leader serving aerospace, defense, power generation, and commercial nuclear customers across the United States, with a reputation for precision, traceability, and metallurgical integrity on every order.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 with Stephen Carr, bringing deep metallurgical expertise and a thorough understanding of forging processes to the venture. Together, they built a company centered on producing high-quality forgings in demanding materials — including high-performance nickel alloys such as Inconel 617 — for industries where material failure is not an option. Edward's technical foundation has shaped MTS Forge's commitment to microstructural integrity, mechanical consistency, and rigorous quality assurance across every product line. His influence is evident in the company's certifications, in-house heat treatment capabilities, and its reputation among aerospace, defense, power generation, and commercial nuclear procurement teams throughout Pennsylvania and beyond as a reliable, technically proficient forging partner.
Inconel 617 is a nickel-chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloy known for outstanding oxidation resistance, high-temperature strength, and creep resistance at temperatures above 1800°F. These properties make it ideal for forged components in gas turbines, steam reformers, chemical processing vessels, and commercial nuclear applications where structural integrity under extreme heat is mandatory.
