Trusted Source for High-Performance Aerospace Steel

Aug 28th 2025

In the aerospace and defense world, your reputation depends on materials that perform under pressure. That’s why leading OEMs and supply chain partners trust Niagara Specialty Metals as their go-to source for high-performance aerospace steel.

Based in New York and 100% employee-owned, Niagara Specialty Metals is not your average mill. We’re agile, responsive, and built to serve manufacturers who can’t afford to wait. Whether you’re sourcing 300M for missile parts or 15-5PH for critical fasteners, we deliver high-performance aerospace steel that meets spec and arrives on time.

Built for Flight. Ready for Battle.

Niagara Specialty Metals supplies DFARS-compliant steels specifically engineered for aerospace and defense applications:

  • 300M – Vacuum melted for extreme strength in missile parts and airframes 
  • 15-5PH – Ideal for corrosion-resistant fasteners and frames 
  • 4340 VAR – High-strength, low-alloy steel for rotor hubs and gearboxes 
  • Maraging C250/C300 – Known for fracture resistance in gearboxes and couplings 

These aren’t off-the-shelf alloys. Our hot-rolling capabilities, precision flattening, and in-house annealing ensure tight tolerances, repeatable performance, and clean surfaces from the start.
