Alcast Company, a U.S.-based leader in military defense aluminum castings, is advancing warfighter readiness with high-performance defense aluminum castings engineered for extreme environments. Based in Peoria, Illinois, Alcast produces aluminum castings using its proprietary Mitchener Molding Process. The castings are designed for mission-critical systems that require durability, tight tolerances, and reliability under combat conditions.
Alcast Company applies its battlefield experience to manufacturing through its veteran leadership and proven expertise in military defense aluminum castings.
“Alcast’s focus is on creating precision aluminum castings that perform when failure is not an option,” said a company president, Josh Kelsey. “Every aluminum component we produce for military or Department of Defense applications supports the American warfighter and the systems they rely on. We take that responsibility seriously.”
With ISO 9001 certification, ITAR registration, and full in-house CNC machining, Alcast delivers defense castings and readiness on every mission. ITAR registration authorizes Alcast to manufacture and handle defense-related components under U.S. export control laws, ensuring its compliance with strict national security protocols.
Aluminum castings support a wide range of defense systems, including naval vessels, ground vehicles, aerospace components, and unmanned aerial platforms. Each casting provides corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and structural strength with minimal material waste.
For example, castings used in naval ships must resist saltwater corrosion, aerospace parts must remain dimensionally stable under extreme temperature swings, and vehicle-mounted weapon systems require castings that can absorb shock and sustain mechanical loads without deformation. Without these properties, components could degrade rapidly, warp under stress, or fail during operation, putting missions, equipment, and lives at risk.
This level of performance starts with careful design and advanced casting methods at the foundry. Alcast Company uses a proprietary low-pressure permanent mold technique known as the Mitchener Molding Process, which helps them shape thin and detailed aluminum castings with a high degree of accuracy. This reduces the need for extra cutting or shaping after the part is cast.
Alcast also uses CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, which are computer-guided tools that cut and finish parts with incredible precision. They give Alcast a clear technical advantage, allowing their foundry to produce higher quality and consistency than other foundries throughout the industry. This technical edge makes it possible to create complex components for defense applications that are evenly formed and fit perfectly. It also means they can produce sample military defense aluminum castings for vehicles quickly, helping speed up testing and development without losing quality.
As global supply chains grow increasingly unstable, Alcast Company reinforces warfighter readiness through a stable, U.S.-based manufacturing model. As a fully domestic and ITAR-compliant foundry, Alcast ensures the secure, on-time production of castings that defense programs nationwide rely on.
