Military Ammunition Casing & Component Manufacturing
Precision CNC machining of ammunition casings, projectile components, and ordnance hardware for military and defense programs.
Ammunition Component Manufacturing Machining
TXSwiss manufactures precision ammunition components for military and defense applications, including small and large caliber cartridge casings, projectile components, fuzing hardware, and ordnance assemblies. Our Swiss CNC machining capabilities are ideally suited for the high-volume turned components that ammunition manufacturing requires — producing millions of precision brass, steel, and aluminum casings with the dimensional consistency that reliable ammunition demands.
Ammunition components are produced in massive volumes where every single part must be dimensionally identical. Swiss CNC turning is purpose-built for exactly this type of production — high-speed, bar-fed, lights-out manufacturing of turned cylindrical components from brass, steel, and aluminum. TXSwiss delivers the production capacity, material expertise, and quality systems that ammunition programs require, from 5.56mm casings to large caliber artillery components.
Ammunition Component Manufacturing Components
Materials We Machine for Ammunition Component Manufacturing
Cartridge Brass C260
70/30 brass — the standard cartridge case material. Excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and annealing response
Cartridge Brass C270
65/35 brass — higher zinc content for increased strength in magnum and high-pressure cartridge applications
Nickel-Plated Brass
Brass cases with nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, lubricity, and visual inspection
Steel (Lacquered/Polymer Coated)
Low-cost steel cases for military training and high-volume applications. Coated to prevent corrosion
Aluminum 3003 & 5052
Lightweight cartridge case material for reduced ammunition weight in specific military applications
4140 & 4340 Alloy Steel
High-strength steels for large caliber casing components, projectile bodies, and ordnance hardware
Copper C110
Bullet jacket and driving band material — high ductility for projectile engraving and gas sealing
Tungsten Alloys
High-density projectile core material for armor-piercing and kinetic energy penetrator applications
