defense

EBTEC understands the challenges faced by manufacturers in the Defense industry: the uncompromising demands made on the exotic metals, alloys, and composites developed for advanced weapon systems; and the operational performance required of marine components subjected to continuous exposure to extreme temperature and humidity.

Components made from these materials often are difficult to process conventionally, but EBTEC's high energy beam processes overcome these difficulties. EBTEC has experience fabricating a variety of Defense industry products, including military aircraft components, transport vehicle components, military weapons, missiles, armament, munitions, and more. We provide cost-effective manufacturing solutions for the specialized materials, dissimilar metals, and fully encapsulated components necessary to meet the most critical industry demands.
