Defense Applications
Titanium serves military applications where its combination of high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties provides tactical advantages. Military aircraft use titanium extensively in airframes, engine components, and armor. Naval vessels employ titanium in submarine hull components (non-magnetic signature reduction), seawater systems, and topside structures in the splash zone. Armored vehicles benefit from titanium armor that provides equivalent protection at significantly less weight than steel, improving mobility and transportability. Missile and ordinance systems use titanium for structural components where weight directly impacts range and maneuverability.
Manufacturing Capabilities
CastAlloy produces titanium military components through closed-die forging for structural fittings, bulkheads, and armor plate, investment casting for complex housings, brackets, and weapon system components, and multi-axis CNC machining for precision assemblies. We work with Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) for general structural applications, Ti-6Al-4V ELI for components requiring enhanced toughness, and CP grades for marine and corrosion-focused applications. Our globally integrated manufacturing network provides the capacity to support both development programs and volume production.
Security and Compliance
CastAlloy supports defense procurement requirements including ITAR compliance for controlled articles, military specification material and process compliance, DPAS-rated priority delivery when applicable, and DD Form 250 inspection and acceptance documentation.
