DEFENCE METALS
DEFENCE METALS
Defence and security manufacturing requires a steady supply of aluminium, steel and copper, among other metals. Metals for defence applications require high tensile strength and durability, low corrosion risks and heat resistance. We have a ready supply of metals, alloys and materials for use in defence, security and military applications, together with over 50 years company experience supplying metal to the defence sector.
Supplying And Machining Metals To The Defence and Security Industry
As experienced metal suppliers for defence sector manufacturing, All Metal Services is equipped with the tools to fill custom metal orders for producing armoured vehicles, ballistics, electronics and other equipment.
Our CNC machines, waterjet cutting equipment, plate saws and bar saws make our extensive metal cutting services second to none. We process defence metals in virtually any shape, including extrusions and flat profiles, to extremely tight tolerances.
Alloys and Metals For Defence and Security
As defence sector manufacturing is continually developing, we supply a wide range of key defence materials and alloys that provide the properties required, balancing strength and durability with low-density, lightweight characteristics.
We advise designers regularly on the appropriate metals for defence equipment and offer our metal cutting and machining services to create custom cut pieces, extrusions, profiles and components to order.
Aluminium for Defence and Military Use
Aluminium is the most used metal in marine and defence manufacturing thanks to its lightweight properties. With lighter vehicles and higher fuel efficiency, aluminium is a perfect material for exterior structural use.
Our defence aluminium grades are supplied worldwide to defence and security manufacturers and their subcontractors. We stock aluminium sheet, aluminium bar, aluminium tube and aluminium plate to OEM grades, European and USA specifications.
Our popular aluminium products include:

Stainless Steel for Defence
Often used in aircraft and land vehicles, stainless steel is valued for high corrosion resistance and tensile strength, making steel alloys the perfect metals for military weaponry such as missiles and ballistics, as well as other defence hardware and equipment.
We have a reliable supply of titanium sheet, plate, bar and tube products in stock and ready for delivery, which can be viewed in more detail on our Titanium page.
Yellow Metals: Copper and Brass alloys
With high conductivity, heat and corrosion resistance and pliability, copper alloys are invaluable in the defence sector. Metals for high-pressure applications, such as pumps, shafts, bolts and steering, as well as for electronics, couplings, enclosures and ballistics are often brass alloys.
