Hydraulic and aero engine tubing engineered for the engines and airframes of military aircraft, including the high-performance Waspaloy™ tubing for the afterburners of the F-15/F-16 Eagle fighter. For the marine sector, high performance tubing is manufactured for nuclear submarines.

Alloys
Seamless and welded stainless steel, titanium (seamless only), zirconium and nickel alloys.

Sizes
From 0.010 in (0.25 mm) to 1.5 in (38.10 mm) OD.

Applications
Include 5,000 psi hydraulic flight actuation systems, fuel lines, pitot tubes, engine tubes in special alloys for high temperature military aircraft afterburners, instrumentation and landing gear. Marine applications include steam generator, heat exchanger and condenser applications.

We supply custom-made metal powders used in coatings used on Navy vessels, and aircraft through qualified AS9100 powder producers. Many of our products are key constituents of blends or some of the original materials used in aerospace thermal spray metallic coatings.

Alloys
Stainless steels, nickel and nickel-base alloys, nickel-chrome alloys, cobalt alloys and specialty alloys.

Applications
Stealth Coating and Thermal Batteries.

Due to their excellent thermal conductivity and controlled thermal expansion, our Molybdenum-Copper and Tungsten-Copper composites are the preferred materials for Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors for the Defense industry.

Alloys
Molybdenum-Copper (AMC) and Tungsten-Copper (AWC) composites.
