ITAR Compliant Manufacturer for Military Casting & Defense Applications

ITAR, or International Traffic in Arms Regulations, are export control regulations overseen by the United States Department of State (DOS). Any product intended for the U.S. military or defense-related purposes must comply with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements.

As an ITAR compliant manufacturer, Erie Bronze & Aluminum has the ability to complete military casting work for the U.S. government as well as a variety of contractors and subcontractors that are working on products, or components of products, that might one day be used in defense or military applications. In meeting military standards like QQ-C-390B, MIL-B-16033, and many more, EBA provides aluminum bronze, manganese-bronze, and other bronze military castings for the defense industry.

ITAR Compliant Manufacturing & Military Casting Meeting MIL-C-22229, MIL-B-16033 & QQ-C-390B Specifications

Bronze alloys play a major role in defense and military preparedness. Bronze alloys are found in high-performance, high-pressure valves, pumps, and other military-grade components. Erie Bronze and Aluminum, an ITAR compliant manufacturer, provides the United States military with a vast array of custom-manufactured shapes and proprietary cast materials.

Our bronze military castings meet federal and military specification requirements such as ASTM B147 and ASTM B584. Erie Bronze & Aluminum provides the following alloy casting for military and defense application:

1. Aluminum Bronze Castings
2. Manganese Castings
3. Silicon Bronze Castings
4. Tin Bronze Castings

Aluminum Bronze Military Castings for Defense Applications

The strength of aluminum bronze properties is similar to carbon steel, making this alloy the ideal material to construct many military-grade machines, such as tanks, ships, and armored vehicles. Military equipment with aluminum bronze properties also allow the machines to maintain a high yield strength for applications including but not limited to:

• Gun Mountings & Slides
• Landing Gear Parts
• Marine Engine & Propellers
• High-Temperature Applications
• Heavily Loaded Worm Gears
• Tank Gun Recoil Mechanisms

The amount of strength and durability this type of equipment requires is critical for protecting our troops. Aluminum bronze density gives the alloy a low magnetic permeability, making these types of alloys less detectable.

Thanks to Erie Bronze & Aluminum’s superior aluminum bronze casting manufacturing, our military can continue doing its job of protecting our nation with ease and success while feeling confident they are using the best cast manufactured applications.

Manganese Bronze Military Casting for High-Stressed, Heavy-Load Applications

The strength and intense hardness of manganese bronze properties provide the tensile strength of 110,000 psi and hardness well over 200 BHN, making it another ideal material for military casting and manufacturing. Military equipment with manganese bronze properties include:

• Highly Stressed Machine Parts
• Slow-Speed Heavy Load Bearings Gears, Gibs & Cams
• Machinery Parts Substituting for Steel & Malleable Iron
• Propellers for Salt & Fresh Water

With Erie Bronze and Aluminum’s extensive experience in manganese bronze military casting, we can produce to specifications with excellent precision and a fast turnaround.

Silicon Bronze Casting

Silicon bronze is known for its superior corrosion resistant properties, even when submerged in liquids and chemicals. Additionally, silicon bronze offers added strength with self-lubricity properties, making it excellent for bearings and load properties. Cast parts manufactured using silicon bronze are for high wear, high load, low abrasion parts such as:

• Ball Bearings
• Bearing Cages
• Gears
• Valve Parts

Erie Bronze & Aluminum has the capability to manufacture silicon bronze castings with superior precision and produce all castings to meet clients’ specific requirements.
