Depleted Uranium (DU) is a low cost material that is readily available. DU's high density properties (65% denser than lead) provide useful solutions in radiation shielding and aircraft counterweights. DU is also a highly effective material for military armor and anti-armor applications. Customer needs for uranium and related materials are served by utilizing our patented technologies.

Aircraft Counterweights

Control surfaces (elevators and ailerons) on wide body aircraft require a heavy counterbalance weight , yet have insufficient surface clearance for lighter materials. Our DU products are an ideal material choice for this application where volume constraints prohibit the use of less dense metals. Starmet has the only Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved facility for the repair and refurbishing of DU aircraft counterweights.

Radiation Shielding

Starmet has been a long time supplier of radiation shielding products to the hospital, radiography, and commercial energy industries. We have the experience to design and manufacture radiation shields that are safe and reliable. Our products are routinely used for collimation and control of radiation sources in angiographic imaging systems, linear accelerators and cobalt irradiation equipment employed in cancer therapy.

Military Ordnance

Starmet's low cost DU manufacturing capabilities make it one of the leading suppliers of low cost ammunition for U.S. government weapons systems. Our anti-armor tank penetrator munitions helped bring a quick conclusion to the Desert Storm conflict.
