In motorsports, the margin between the podium and the paddock is measured in microns and milliseconds. Carpenter Technology provides the ultra-high-strength, lightweight alloys that power the world’s most elite racing series—from Formula 1 and NASCAR to NHRA. We deliver the materials that allow engineers to push engine and chassis components to their absolute physical limits.

Ultra-high-tensile alloys that enable smaller, lighter, and faster components.
Materials engineered to survive the violent duty cycles of high-RPM racing.
The trusted material partner for championship-winning teams across global racing series.
Lightweight titanium and high-strength alloys that allow for higher RPM limits and faster engine response.
Ultra-tough maraging steels designed to handle the massive torque loads of drag racing and endurance series.
Nickel-base superalloys for exhaust valves and turbochargers that maintain structural integrity at glowing-hot temperatures.
Short lead times and small-batch availability to meet the relentless pace of a racing season.

Alloys like AerMet® 310 provide yield strengths exceeding 280 ksi, allowing for thinner, lighter structural parts.
Critical for parts subjected to sudden shock loads, ensuring that components bend rather than shatter under stress.
The ability of tool steels and superalloys to maintain their hardness even when operating at extreme temperatures.
Provides the stiffness required for high-precision valvetrain components and pushrods.
We apply 135+ years of metallurgical data to the world of high-speed competition.
High-RPM engines require valves, retainers, and springs that are incredibly light yet resistant to fatigue. Our materials allow for aggressive cam profiles and increased reliability at the redline.
High strength-to-weight ratio for lightweight valves and retainers.
Iron-base superalloy with excellent high-temperature strength for exhaust valves.
High-strength stainless with excellent fatigue life for high-stress springs and pins.
Drive shafts, axles, and gears must handle explosive torque. Our AerMet® and NiMark® alloys provide the toughness needed to prevent snapped shafts during standing starts.
The gold standard for high-strength axles and shafts; unmatched fracture toughness.
Maraging steel that achieves ultra-high strength with excellent dimensional stability.
High-strength nickel alloy for extreme-load fasteners and structural links.
Modern forced-induction racing engines generate immense heat. Our superalloys ensure that turbo housings and manifolds don't warp or fail during endurance races.
