Products and applications
Our products and components are used wherever particularly high demands are placed on the material. They are utilized especially in the defense industry as well as in the manufacture of sports equipment, in die-casting applications, and in machining and tooling processes worldwide.
Our high-density alloys are used in rotor blades, propellers, inertial systems, and other aerospace applications.
Airport package, luggage, and personal X-ray devices contain Mi-Tech tungsten alloys, which can also be found in large-container inspection equipment.
Our chassis weights made from high-density alloys consume considerably less volume than their lead counterparts. They are designed for balance and lowering the car's center of gravity and are used in the auto racing segment.
