Manufacturing
High purity vacuum induction melted and vacuum arc remelted iron based alloys from Latrobe can take serious punishment.
That’s why they go into essential components for submarines, spacecraft, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and military ground transport like the highly survivable Bradley fighting vehicle.
You’ll find our steels in thousands of other demanding applications as well: In extrusion dies for aluminum architectural shapes. In molds for plastic toys. In the camshafts of Formula One cars. In machine tools. And in countless other situations where extreme conditions demand extraordinarily high performance.
 | The new F-35 Lightning Joint Strike Fighter, the most powerful single-engine fighter in history, flies with engine bearings made of Latrobe VIM/VAR alloys. |
These aircraft soar with high purity vacuum remelted steels from Latrobe.
