High-Volume. High-Precision. Fully Controlled.
Built to Meet Mission Demand at Scale
At Tungsten Munitions Corp (TMC), every round we produce is supported by one of the most advanced tungsten manufacturing pipelines in the defense industry. Powered by the legacy and infrastructure of our parent company — Tungsten Parts Wyoming (TPW) — we deliver military-grade performance at volume.
Our capacity, automation investments, and rigorous quality protocols ensure we can fulfill tactical, military, and law enforcement orders ranging from a few thousand shells to multi-hundred-thousand-round procurements with precision and consistency.
TMC operates on top of an industrial foundation capable of:
- Producing over 2 million rounds annually of tungsten-loaded ammunition
- Managing full lifecycle production — from tungsten fragment pressing to shell assembly
- Supporting diverse product series with flexible lines: DR (anti-drone), VX (vehicle interdiction), BX (barrier penetration), AP (anti-personnel), LE (law enforcement), and MX (maritime)
TPW’s latest expansion increased its tungsten fragment output to 1.6 million kg/year, with future buildouts enabling 5 million+ kg/year throughput.
Our Process Chain Includes:
Powder Verification & Control:
All tungsten powders used in munitions are analyzed for flowability, density, and composition before pressing.
Automated Fette Presses:
Compacting machines form uniform shapes with minimal variance.
Thermal Processing Suite:
Includes multi-stage debinding, sintering, and vacuum annealing to meet ASTM B777 specs.
Shot Forming & Shaping:
Produces spheres, cubes, and other high-density geometries with exceptional crush and tensile resistance.
Zero Gravity Lifts & Drum Inverters:
Reduce manual strain, improve safety, and increase powder handling efficiency.
Oberlin Filtration System:
Automates coolant cycling and reduces waste handling time.
Roller-Meter Sizing:
Ensures exact shot size consistency across batches.
Final QA & Packaging Prep:.
All projectiles are run through high-resolution inspection before entering final loading and packaging stages.
Rigorous Quality Assurance
TMC’s QA program follows the full suite of TPW protocols, including:
All tooling is precision-calibrated twice per year by independent metrologists and backed by internal QA staff to maintain uninterrupted reliability.
Process Innovation & Automation Investment
TMC’s ability to scale rests on TPW’s deep, ongoing automation roadmap:
- SCADA system upgrades and automated heat exchanger integration for precise thermal control
- Automated powder hoppers and dedusters for cleaner, faster compaction setups
- Shelf cart & swarf recovery systems that streamline post-processing and reduce waste
- Zero Gravity lifts installed in 2024 have increased line output while lowering manual error and operator fatigue
- Future automation in tumbling, sorting, and annealing is already underway to further boost throughput without sacrificing quality
Complex Shape Manufacturing Capabilities
For specialty contracts or kinetic payloads, TMC (via TPW) can deliver custom-shaped tungsten elements such as cubes and high-mass fragments:
Precision Cube Tolerances
94% of tungsten cubes are produced within ±0.10 mm dimensional tolerance, supporting uniform terminal performance across fragment-based load applications.
Extreme Strength Under Pressure
Passed 90kN crush tests with zero surface cracking, verifying structural resilience under high-force applications like breaching, fragmentation, and armor defeat.
High-Velocity Penetration Validation
Simulated EFP trials confirm tungsten fragments reliably penetrate multiple layers of stacked steel targets under controlled high-speed impact conditions.
Tooling for Advanced Geometries
Investments in EDM, isostatic pressing, and plate rolling will enable production of custom tungsten shapes for future kinetic and specialized payloads.
Scalable for Contracts of Any Size
Whether supplying:
- Federal and state law enforcement with specialty LE and AP loads
- NATO-aligned military clients with high-volume tactical or maritime shells
- S. agencies pursuing drone interdiction and barrier penetration capabilities
TMC’s manufacturing pipeline can deliver.
Orders can be fulfilled in:
- Standardized box sets (5-, 10-, or 25-round packaging)
- Palletized bulk formats for armories or resupply points
- Custom packaging under agency instruction or ITAR-secured guidelines
Internal Coordination with Engineering Teams
For government or defense clients requiring:- Technical Data Packages (TDPs)
- Mil-Spec documentation
- Ballistic reports
- Batch-level test certifications
TMC’s internal engineering and QA staff collaborate directly with program officers to ensure compliance, clarity, and contract readiness.
Continuous Throughput. Continuous Readiness.
Our approach to scale is not just about output — it’s about precision under pressure. Whether it’s supplying a 20,000-round anti-drone deployment or scaling to support a cross-theater logistics operation, TMC’s structure is built for:
- Speed to production
- Technical transparency
- Contract fulfillment
- Post-delivery support
