Molybdenum, tungsten, tungsten heavy alloys, tantalum, and their alloys are important materials for the aerospace and defense industry. The key reasons for this are their special material properties: their excellent high-temperature strength, density, and tensile strength, their good mechanical machinability and radiation shielding effect. In our ISO 9001 and AS/EN 9100-certified production facilities we manufacture penetrators, fragments, jet vanes, nozzles, shape charge liners, precision balancing weights, anti-vibration weights, X-ray shields, leading edges, and satellite propulsion components amongst others.
