Defense & Military
Advanced Materials for Ammunition, Friction Systems, and High-Performance Applications
Asbury provides high-performance materials engineered to support reliability, durability, and precision in defense and military applications. From ammunition components to friction and wear-critical applications, our materials are designed to perform in environments where extreme conditions, consistency, and performance are critical.
Defense systems require materials that can withstand high temperatures, pressure, friction, and mechanical stress, while maintaining predictable and repeatable performance. Asbury’s carbon, graphite, and advanced material solutions help enable these capabilities across a range of military and defense-related applications. Asbury adheres to specifications SS-G-659A (powdered lubricating graphite supplied in bulk quantities) and MIL-Spec (MIL-DTL 155C) for ammunition.
Key Properties of Military Carbon & Graphite Materials
Carbon and graphite materials are widely used in defense and military applications because they offer properties critical for performance and reliability:
- High thermal stability
- Controlled friction performance
- Excellent lubricity
- Chemical inertness
- Wear resistance
- Consistency and purity
Applications
Defense & Military Applications
Friction Products
Carbon and graphite materials are used in friction systems to provide stable, predictable friction behavior under a wide range of operating conditions. These materials help control wear, reduce variability, and maintain performance in applications where friction consistency is essential, including braking and mechanical systems used in defense and transportation equipment.
Ammunition & Explosives
Carbon-based materials are used in ammunition and energetic systems to support controlled performance, consistency, and reliability, meeting the requirements of MIL-Spec (MIL-DTL 155C).
Thermal Stability
These materials can function as additives, processing aids, or components within systems where flow behavior, stability, and material compatibility are critical. Their thermal stability and chemical inertness make them suitable for use in environments involving rapid energy release and high-temperature exposure.
