In 1915, Elwood Haynes and two local businessmen, Richard Ruddell and James C. Patten, incorporate the business as Haynes Stellite Company. [3]

In 1920, the company was acquired by Union Carbide. [3]

In 1922, the company invented its first alloy under the Hastelloy brand, derived from the words "Haynes Stellite Alloy". [3]
