Weapon Systems

MetalTek manufactures cast components used in a variety of weapon system applications, including missile fin castings, launch system hardware, structural components, housings, brackets, and other precision-engineered parts where strength, dimensional accuracy, and reliability are critical. Our investment casting capabilities are particularly well suited for complex geometries and demanding performance requirements often found in missile and weapons platforms.

Material selection is based on the specific performance requirements of the component, whether for missile fin castings, launch system hardware, structural assemblies, or other mission-critical weapon system applications. MetalTek's metallurgical expertise helps defense customers identify the best alloy for the intended environment and service demands.

HY-80 is a specialized naval-grade steel developed for applications that require an exceptional combination of strength, toughness, and structural reliability. Its mechanical properties make it well-suited for demanding marine defense environments where components must withstand significant loads, harsh service conditions, and long operational lifecycles. MetalTek-Carondelet is qualified to produce HY-80 castings in accordance with NAVSEA requirements for critical naval applications.

MetalTek supports weapon system programs through a comprehensive quality framework that includes ISO 9001, AS9100D, NADCAP-accredited special processes, military-specification qualifications, and a variety of customer-specific approvals. These certifications and accreditations help ensure the quality, traceability, process control, and manufacturing consistency required for critical defense applications, including missile fin castings, launch system hardware, and other mission-essential components.
