Bingham Named Sales Manager
William H. (Bill) Bingham has been named sales manager at Houston-based Alloy Metals and Tubes International, Inc.
Bingham, a native of Houston, will be responsible for leading the AMTI sales effort, participating in outside sales and in developing the company’s sales strategy.
AMTI provides one-stop shopping for a complete list of hard-to-source tubing products. Founded in 1991, the company provides service for customers requiring custom tubes, particularly in the oil and gas sector, and also maintains a strong inventory of instrumentation tubes in its west Houston location.
The company was acquired by local oil and petrochemical executive Curtis R. Kates last May.
“We immediately expanded our sales team upon acquiring the business,” said Kates in a company press release. “Even in the current atmosphere of economic uncertainty, we’re focused on strengthening existing AMTI relationships, as well as building strategic alliances with new customers and suppliers.
“I see tremendous potential for growth, particularly in the nickel and high-nickel chrome alloy market niche.”
As sales manager, Bingham will be part of that building strategy. He brings more than 30 years of experience to his new post at AMTI.
Bingham was stainless tubing manager at Maxpro South in Houston, where he introduced a stainless steel tubing program in 2003, developing customer base and inventory as well as marketing and distribution procedures.
He also worked in sales at PAC Stainless Ltd., was stainless aluminum product manager at Keystone Corporation, and was special projects manager at Tubesales in Houston.
Bingham earned his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree at Sam Houston Sate University in Huntsville. He resides in Houston.

Feature Alloy
MONEL® alloy 400 (UNS N04400. W.Nr. 2.4360, 2.4361) is a part of the Monel family of alloys created by David H. Browne, chief metallurgist for International Nickel Co., patented in 1906 and named after then president Ambrose Monel. An alloy of nickel-copper, roughly 67% nickel, it is known for its resistance to sea water corrosion, acids and other corrosive media.
MONEL® alloy 400 tubing is corrosion resistant, which allows it to excel in marine applications: piping systems, pump shafts, seawater valves, etc. It is also found commonly in chemical plant equipment, crude oil distillation towers, boiler feeders and heat exchangers.
Only hardened by cold working, MONEL® alloy 400 tubing exhibits excellent weldability and high strength, in addition to its corrosion resistance. Although low in strength in the annealed condition, using a variety of tempers MONEL® alloy 400 tubing has great mechanical properties at subzero temperatures, and can be used in temperatures up to 1000° F.
Alloy Metals and Tubes International, stocking and supplying MONEL® alloy 400 tubing to meet the diverse needs of customers in varied markets and applications, seeks to be your preferred quality supplier of MONEL® alloy 400 tubing. Contact us, or send us a request for a quote.

Subsea Tieback Forum and Exhibition
Alloy Metals and Tubes International participated with the best in the oil and gas industry at the Subsea Tieback Forum and Exhibition in San Antonio March 3-5. Curt Kates, AMTI president, was encouraged to see the vigor and optimism among industry representatives and recognized the can-do attitudes and the incredible technological prowess that are hallmarks of this industry.
“We are fortunate to have such a creative and capable group to find and produce our oil and gas resources,” Kates commented. AMTI representatives offered instrumentation tubing, custom tubes for MWD and other downhole applications, and saw many applications for super duplex tubing, alloy 625 tubing and other high nickel alloy tubes in the subsea arena.
Being in the great city of San Antonio was fun and working side by side with other industry professionals was rewarding. Most major companies that exhibited were busy due to their long project cycle. It was interesting and impressive to see the subsea infrastructure needed to produce oil and gas from thousands of feet below the surface. There does not seem to be a problem that can’t be solved by these pros, and our instrumentation tubing is one of the elements that make subsea applications work.
The AMTI booth was busy and company representatives enjoyed meeting and exchanging ideas with other industry professionals. The cutting edge of the oil and gas industry was on display, and AMTI maintains a strategic position as a supplier of high nickel alloy tubes to these industry giants.
