Missiles and Rockets
Nose cones, body sections, payload sections, tail cones, exhaust fairings, and other missile and rocket structural castings can be manufactured and designed as sand castings when strength, weight, and cost are all vital considerations.
In the early 1980's, Hitchcock accepted the challenge to produce larger, more complex missile structures. The success of this challenge launched us into the premium quality structural castings market. We have participated in some of the most dominant missile programs of the last few decades and continue to be a leader in this market.

|
One-Piece Structure
|
- Eliminates assembly and fasteners
- Reduces purchase order administration time and costs
- Reduces money tied up in inventory of parts needed for fabrications, which leads to an overall lower price
- Reduces machining to contours and mating surfaces only
- Complex dimensional and/or metallurgical parts with aerodynamic surfaces

Sand Core Mold Process
|
- Permits the ability to produce complex geometric shapes and designs that would otherwise be impossible to create
- Allows for the capability to produce large castings
- Ability to produce high properties in design-critical areas of the structure
- Pressure tight for long term storage
- Accommodates variety of size
