Defense Materials Expertise
BTX supports the manufacture of components used in combat systems, weapons platforms, C5ISR infrastructure, tactical vehicles, and support equipment. Our organizations are built to deliver parts that meet the highest performance and compliance standards.
We machine defense-grade materials daily, including:
- High-Strength Steels (e.g., 4340, 300M, HY-80) – Used in structural components, armor, and aerospace-grade systems
- Titanium Alloys (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V) – Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and strong; ideal for aircraft, naval, and missile systems
- Aluminum Alloys (e.g., 7075, 6061, 7050) – Lightweight and machinable; used in aerospace frames, electronics housings, and weapons systems
- Stainless Steels (e.g., 17-4 PH, 15-5, 316L) – Corrosion resistance and strength; used in naval, aerospace, and weapon components
- Nickel Alloys (e.g., Inconel 718, Monel, Hastelloy) – High performance in extreme temperatures and corrosive environments
- Copper Alloys (e.g., C110, CuBe, bronze) – Excellent conductivity; used in electronics, radar systems, and thermal applications
- Engineering Plastics (e.g., PEEK, Ultem, Delrin) – Used for insulation, lightweight components, and EMI/RFI shielding structures
Space-Grade Materials We Commonly Machine:
- Sensor housings and enclosures
- Weapon mounts and brackets
- Engine and power system components
- Heat shields and structural supports
- Ground support tooling and fixturing
- Electronics and thermal control hardware
