7.People Also Ask

1.What materials are best for military castings?

Stainless steel, cobalt alloys, and nickel-based metals are the go-to picks for custom investment casting for military parts. They hold up to heat, impact, and corrosive elements.

2.What are aerospace-grade investment castings used for?

These castings are used in aircraft that face tough mechanical and thermal loads. They’re usually made from cobalt or nickel alloys and built to tight tolerances.

3.Can Welleshaft produce turbine blade castings for military aircraft?

Absolutely. We’ve built turbine blade castings for military aircraft using heat-resistant alloys, with geometry tailored for airflow and stress.

4.How is the quality of military castings tested?

Every casting goes through visual checks, dimensional inspection, and NDT like x-ray or ultrasonic testing. No shortcuts.

5.Is Welleshaft ITAR certified?

Yep, we are fully registered with ITAR and follow U.S. defense manufacturing controls.
