Specialty Metals
Some of the most demanding aerospace, semiconductor, medical, and electronics applications call for specialty, refractory, and high-value metals. These are the difficult-to-machine materials where MWDT’s 5-axis capability, materials-science expertise, and engineering support make the difference — machined to tight tolerances, often in low-to-medium volumes.
Specialty & Refractory Metals
Titanium (Grade 2, Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V)
Best-in-class strength-to-weight, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance for aerospace structures and fasteners, and medical components.
Tungsten and tungsten alloys
Extreme density and high-temperature performance for ballast, dampers, and radiation shielding.
Additional specialty metals on request
For specialized applications, we machine refractory and controlled-expansion metals such as molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, Kovar® and Invar® (glass-to-metal seals and electronics packaging), and beryllium-copper (high-strength, non-sparking) — contact us to discuss your material.
Why MWDT for Hard-to-Machine Metals
Difficult materials reward experience. Our engineers consult on material selection and design-for-manufacturability before production, and relevant finishing — titanium anodizing, yttria and alumina ceramic coatings, electroless nickel, passivation, and electropolishing — is available through Anodic Process Technologies.
