DEFENCE
DEFENCE SECTOR MANUFACTURING MATERIALS
The defence industry relies heavily on a range of metal alloys for their unmatched strength, durability, and ability to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring compliance with strict safety and performance criteria. Key metals such as steel, aluminium, and titanium form the backbone of critical applications, from vehicle armour and military aircraft structures to components of naval ships.
Nickel-based superalloys, including varieties like Inconel, are indispensable for crafting parts that must endure extreme temperatures and corrosive environments, notably in military aircraft engines. Tungsten alloys are sought after for their density and hardness, making them ideal for armour-piercing projectiles and as counterweights in aerospace design. The industry’s dependence on these metal alloys is driven by their essential properties, which guarantee that military equipment and systems can reliably meet the rigorous demands of operational duty.

DEFENCE SECTOR APPLICATIONS AND USE CASES
In the defence industry, selecting the right manufacturing technique—casting, forging, metal fabrication, or precision machining—is crucial for meeting the specific requirements of strength, precision, and durability demanded by various applications.
Castings such investment castings, gravity die castings and shell mould castings are pivotal for producing complex engine components and firearm parts, while forging offers unmatched resilience for defence sightings, missile components, and munitions.
Metal fabrication is essential for creating rugged telecommunications equipment and armoured vehicle hulls, ensuring protection and functionality under harsh conditions.
Precision machining plays a key role in aerospace components and optics, where exact tolerances are critical for safety and accuracy.
Together, these techniques support a wide range of defence applications, from naval systems and personal protective equipment to electronic warfare systems, demonstrating the industry’s reliance on advanced manufacturing to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of military operations.
