Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Howmet Aerospace Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Howmet” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The 2022 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company derived approximately 49% of its revenue from products sold to the commercial aerospace market which is substantially less than the 2019 annual rate of approximately 60%. During the global COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the commercial aerospace industry to date, there was a decrease in domestic and international air travel, which in turn adversely affected demand for narrow body and wide body aircraft. Domestic air travel has rebounded and exceeds 2019 levels. International air travel continues to recover and is approximately 90% of 2019 levels. We expect commercial aerospace growth to continue. The commercial wide body aircraft market is emerging but the mix of wide body to narrow body aircraft remains below 2019 levels, which is creating a shift in our product mix compared to 2019 conditions. In addition to the impact from the pandemic, the timing and level of future aircraft builds by original equipment manufacturers are subject to changes and uncertainties, which may cause our future results to differ from prior periods due to changes in product mix in certain segments. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments, estimates, and assumptions. These estimates are based on historical experience and, in some cases, assumptions based on current and future market experience, including considerations related to COVID-19 and changes in the aerospace industry. The impact of these changes, including the macroeconomic considerations, remains highly uncertain. Management has made its best estimates using all relevant information available at the time, but it is possible that our estimates will differ from our actual results and affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods and potentially require adverse adjustments to the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other judgments and estimations and assumptions. |

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | 9 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Adopted In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to enhance the transparency of disclosures regarding supplier finance programs. These changes became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the changes issued by the FASB related to disclosure requirements of supplier finance program obligations. We offer voluntary supplier finance programs to suppliers who may elect to sell their receivables to third parties at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. The program is at no cost to the Company and provides additional liquidity to our suppliers, if they desire, at their cost. Under these programs, the Company pays the third party bank rather than the supplier, the stated amount of the confirmed invoices on the original maturity date of the invoices. The Company or the third party bank may terminate a program upon at least 30 days’ notice. Supplier invoices under the program require payment in full no more than 120 days of the invoice date. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, supplier invoices that are subject to future payment under these programs were $254 and $240, respectively, and are included in Accounts payable, trade in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Issued In March 2020, the FASB issued amendments that provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB deferred the sunset date to December 31, 2024. The Company has amended its agreements in accordance with the new guidance (See Note J and Note N ) . Management has concluded that the impact of these changes is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information Howmet is a global leader in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. Howmet’s innovative, multi-material products, which include nickel, titanium, aluminum, and cobalt, are used worldwide in the aerospace (commercial and defense), commercial transportation, and industrial and other markets. Segment performance under Howmet’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Howmet’s definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate. Howmet’s operations consist of four worldwide reportable segments as follows: Engine Products Engine Products produces investment castings, including airfoils, and seamless rolled rings primarily for aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. Engine Products produces rotating parts as well as structural parts. Fastening Systems Fastening Systems produces aerospace fastening systems, as well as commercial transportation, industrial and other fasteners. The business’s high-tech, multi-material fastening systems are found nose to tail on aircraft and aero engines. Fastening Systems’ products are also critical components of commercial transportation vehicles, automobiles, construction and industrial equipment, and renewable energy sectors. Engineered Structures Engineered Structures produces titanium ingots and mill products for aerospace and defense applications and is vertically integrated to produce titanium forgings, extrusions, forming and machining services for airframe, wing, aero-engine, and landing gear components. Engineered Structures also produces aluminum forgings, nickel forgings, and aluminum machined components and assemblies for aerospace and defense applications. Forged Wheels Forged Wheels provides forged aluminum wheels and related products for heavy-duty trucks and the commercial transportation market. The operating results of the Company’s reportable segments were as follows: Engine Products Fastening Systems Engineered Structures Forged Wheels Total Third quarter ended September 30, 2023 Sales: Third-party sales $ 798 $ 348 $ 227 $ 285 $ 1,658 Inter-segment sales 5 — — — 5 Total sales $ 803 $ 348 $ 227 $ 285 $ 1,663 Profit and loss: Provision for depreciation and amortization $ 33 $ 12 $ 12 $ 10 $ 67 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 219 76 30 77 402 Restructuring and other charges — 1 1 — 2 Capital expenditures 30 9 6 9 54 Third quarter ended September 30, 2022 Sales: Third-party sales $ 683 $ 291 $ 193 $ 266 $ 1,433 Inter-segment sales 1 — 3 — 4 Total sales $ 684 $ 291 $ 196 $ 266 $ 1,437 Profit and loss: Provision for depreciation and amortization $ 31 $ 11 $ 12 $ 10 $ 64 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 186 64 28 64 342 Restructuring and other charges 2 — 1 — 3 Capital expenditures 23 7 3 6 39 Engine Products Fastening Systems Engineered Structures Forged Wheels Total Nine months ended September 30, 2023 Sales: Third-party sales $ 2,414 $ 989 $ 634 $ 872 $ 4,909 Inter-segment sales 12 — 1 — 13 Total sales $ 2,426 $ 989 $ 635 $ 872 $ 4,922 Profit and loss: Provision for depreciation and amortization $ 97 $ 35 $ 36 $ 29 $ 197 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 654 198 80 237 1,169 Restructuring and other (credits) charges (1) 1 7 — 7 Capital expenditures 84 23 21 25 153 Nine months ended September 30, 2022 Sales: Third-party sales $ 1,966 $ 832 $ 560 $ 792 $ 4,150 Inter-segment sales 3 — 5 — 8 Total sales $ 1,969 $ 832 $ 565 $ 792 $ 4,158 Profit and loss: Provision for depreciation and amortization $ 93 $ 34 $ 36 $ 30 $ 193 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 538 176 77 206 997 Restructuring and other charges (credits) 9 (3) 4 — 10 Capital expenditures 74 30 12 20 136 The following table reconciles Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Income before income taxes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s year-to-date tax provision is comprised of the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income. The tax impacts of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the tax provision is adjusted for the interim period impact of non-benefited pre-tax losses. The estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, applied to ordinary income was 23.0% in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 24.3% in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 2023 and 2022 rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to additional estimated U.S. tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) and other foreign earnings, incremental state tax and foreign taxes on earnings also subject to U.S. federal income tax, and nondeductible expenses. Foreign earnings subject to tax in higher rate jurisdictions also contributed to the 2023 rate being higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%. For the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, the tax rate including discrete items was 22.3% and 23.1%, respectively. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a discrete net tax benefit of $1 for other small items. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $2 for other small items. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the tax rate including discrete items was 25.0% and 21.8%, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a discrete net tax charge of $13 attributable to a $20 charge for a tax reserve established in France (See Note P ) and a net tax charge of $1 for other small items, reduced by an $8 excess tax benefit for stock compensation. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $11 attributable to a $6 benefit to release a valuation allowance related to an interest carryforward tax attribute in the U.K. and a $5 excess benefit for stock compensation. The tax provision was comprised of the following: Third quarter ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Pre-tax income at estimated annual effective income tax rate before discrete items $ 55 $ 24 $ 162 $ 111 Impact of change in estimated annual effective tax rate on previous quarter’s pre-tax income — 2 — — Interim period treatment of operational losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized — — 1 — Tax reserve ( P ) — — 20 — Other discrete items (1) (2) (7) (11) Provision for income taxes $ 54 $ 24 $ 176 $ 100 |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share and Common Stock | Earnings Per Share and Common Stock Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts are computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of preferred stock dividends declared, by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. The information used to compute basic and diluted EPS attributable to Howmet common shareholders was as follows (shares in millions in the table below): Third quarter ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 188 $ 80 $ 529 $ 358 Less: preferred stock dividends declared 1 1 2 2 Net income available to Howmet Aerospace common shareholders - basic and diluted $ 187 $ 79 $ 527 $ 356 Average shares outstanding - basic 412 415 412 417 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock and performance awards 3 5 5 5 Average shares outstanding - diluted 415 420 417 422 Common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 412 million and 414 million, respectively. On August 18, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1,500 of the Company's outstanding common stock. After giving effect to the share repurchases made through September 30, 2023, approximately $797 Board authorization remains available. The following table provides details for share repurchases made for the periods presented: Number of shares Average price per share (1) Total Q1 2023 open market repurchase 576,629 $ 43.36 $ 25 Q2 2023 open market repurchase 2,246,294 $ 44.52 $ 100 Q3 2023 open market repurchase 506,800 $ 49.32 $ 25 2023 Share repurchases as of September 30, 2023 3,329,723 $ 45.05 $ 150 Q1 2022 open market repurchase 5,147,307 $ 34.00 $ 175 Q2 2022 open market repurchase 1,770,271 $ 33.89 $ 60 Q3 2022 open market repurchase 2,764,846 $ 36.17 $ 100 2022 Share repurchases as of September 30, 2022 9,682,424 $ 34.60 $ 335 (1) Excludes commissions cost. Under the Company’s share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), the Company may repurchase shares by means of trading plans established from time to time in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, block trades, private transactions, open market repurchases and/or accelerated share repurchase agreements, or other derivative transactions. There is no stated expiration for the Share Repurchase Program. Under its Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or to do so at any particular time, and the Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice. The approximately 3 million decrease in average shares outstanding (basic) for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the approximately 5 million shares repurchased between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023. As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation for both basic and diluted EPS, the full impact of share repurchases was not fully realized in EPS in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying points during a period. There were no shares relating to outstanding stock options excluded from the calculation of average shares outstanding - diluted for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Receivables | Receivables Sale of Receivables Programs The Company maintains an accounts receivables securitization arrangement through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”). The net cash funding from the sale of accounts receivable through the SPE was neither a use of cash nor a source of cash for the third quarter of 2023 or 2022. The accounts receivables securitization arrangement is one in which the Company, through an SPE, has a receivables purchase agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the SPE may sell certain receivables to financial institutions until the earlier of August 30, 2024 or a termination event. The Receivables Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred receivables, and therefore accounts for these transfers as sales of receivables. The Receivables Purchase Agreement was amended on February 17, 2023 to update the reference rate and reduce the facility limit to $250 from $325, with a provision to increase the limit to $325. The facility limit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement was $250 and $325 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. A total of $250 was drawn as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As collateral against the sold receivables, the SPE maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which were $164 and $190 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company sold $439 and $1,158 of its receivables without recourse and received cash funding under this program during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company sold $453 and $1,354 of its receivables without recourse and received cash funding under the program during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Costs associated with the sales of receivables are reflected in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Operations for the periods in which the sales occur. Cash receipts from sold receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement are presented within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. Other Customer Receivable Sales In the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold $140 and $429, respectively, of certain customers’ receivables in exchange for cash ( $134 was outstanding from customers as of September 30, 2023), the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $127 and $350 of certain customers’ receivables in exchange for cash, the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. |

Public Debt In the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased in the open market approximately $60 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Notes and paid approximately $62, including an early termination premium of approximately $2, which was recorded in Loss on debt redemption in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. In January 2023, the Company repurchased approximately $26 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Notes through an open market repurchase (“OMR”). The OMR was settled at slightly less than par. In March 2023, the Company completed the early partial redemption of an additional $150 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Notes in accordance with the terms of the notes, and paid an aggregate of $155, including accrued interest and an early termination premium of approximately $4 and $1, respectively, which were recorded in Interest expense, net, and Loss on debt redemption, respectively, in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. On September 28, 2023, the Company completed an early partial redemption of its outstanding 5.125% Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200. Such 5.125% Notes were redeemed at par with cash on hand at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $205, including accrued interest of approximately $5. Credit Facility On July 27, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders and issuers, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2023. The Credit Agreement provides a $1,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on July 27, 2028, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Company may make two one-year extension requests during the term of the Credit Facility, with any extension being subject to the lender consent requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Company may from time to time request increases in commitments under the Credit Facility, not to exceed $500 in aggregate principal amount, and may also request the issuance of letters of credit, subject to a letter of credit sublimit of $500 of the Credit Facility. Under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, based on Howmet’s current long-term debt ratings, Howmet pays an annual fee of 0.175% of the total commitment to maintain the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is unsecured and amounts payable under it will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. Loans will bear interest at a base rate or, in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, a rate equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus adjustment or, in the case of euro-denominated loans, the Euro inter-bank offered rate (“EURIBOR”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the credit ratings of the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on the Company’s current long-term debt ratings, the applicable margin on base rate loans would be 0.325% per annum and the applicable margin on Term SOFR loans and EURIBOR loans would be 1.325% per annum. The applicable margin is subject to change based on the Company’s long-term debt ratings. Loans may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs. The obligation of the Company to pay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement. Such Events of Default include, among others, (a) non-payment of obligations; (b) breach of any representation or warranty in any material respect; (c) non-performance of covenants and obligations; (d) with respect to other indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $100, a default thereunder that causes such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or a default in the payment at maturity of any principal of such indebtedness; (e) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; and (f) a change in control of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains covenants, including, among others, (a) limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money; (b) limitations on the Company’s ability to consummate a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets; (c) limitations on the Company’s ability to change the nature of its business; and (d) a limitation requiring the ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of the four fiscal quarters most recently ended, to be less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, and no amounts were borrowed during 2023 or 2022 under the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. Availability under the Credit Agreement could be reduced in future periods if the Company fails to maintain the required ratio referenced above. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Commitments | Contingencies and Commitments Contingencies The following information supplements and, as applicable, updates the discussion of the contingencies and commitments in Note V to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with the complete descriptions provided in the Form 10-K. Environmental Matters. Howmet participates in environmental assessments and cleanups at more than 30 locations. These include owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, previously owned or operated facilities and adjoining properties, and waste sites, including Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”)) sites. A liability is recorded for environmental remediation when a cleanup program becomes probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, the liability is adjusted based on progress made in determining the extent of remedial actions and related costs. The liability can change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, and technological changes, among others. The Company’s remediation reserve balance was $17 and $16 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (of which $6 was classified as a current liability for both periods), and reflects the most probable costs to remediate identified environmental conditions for which costs can be reasonably estimated. Payments related to remediation expenses applied against the reserve were $2 and less than $1 in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4 and $1 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and included expenditures currently mandated, as well as those not required by any regulatory authority or third party. Included in annual operating expenses are the recurring costs of managing hazardous substances and environmental programs. These costs are estimated to be less than 1% of Cost of goods sold. Tax. In December 2013 and 2014, the Company received audit assessment notices from the French Tax Authority (“FTA”) for the 2010 through 2012 tax years. In 2016, the Company appealed to the Committee of the Abuse of Tax Law, where it received a favorable nonbinding decision. The FTA disagreed with the Committee of the Abuse of Tax Law’s opinion, and the Company appealed to the Montreuil Administrative Court, where in 2020 the Company prevailed on the merits. The FTA appealed this decision to the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal in 2021. On March 31, 2023, the Company received an adverse decision from the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal. The Company estimates the assessment amount to be $19 (€18), including interest and penalties. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company filed an appeal to the French Administrative Supreme Court. As a result of the adverse decision from the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal, the Company has concluded that it is no longer more likely than not to sustain its position. Through the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an income tax reserve in Provision for income taxes in the Statement of Consolidated Operations of $20 (€19), which includes estimated interest and penalties, for the 2010 through 2012 tax years, as well as the remaining tax years open for reassessment. In accordance with FTA dispute resolution practices, the Company is expecting that a payment to the FTA will be necessary in 2023. If an appeal to the French Administrative Supreme Court is successful, any payment would be refunded with interest. Indemnified Matters. The Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated October 31, 2016, that the Company entered into with Alcoa Corporation in connection with its separation from Alcoa Corporation, provides for cross-indemnities between the Company and Alcoa Corporation for claims subject to indemnification. The Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated March 31, 2020, that the Company entered into with Arconic Corporation in connection with its separation from Arconic Corporation, provides for cross-indemnities between the Company and Arconic Corporation for claims subject to indemnification. Among other claims that are covered by these indemnities, Arconic Corporation indemnifies the Company (f/k/a Arconic Inc. and f/k/a Alcoa Inc.) for all potential liabilities associated with the fire that occurred at the Grenfell Tower in London, U.K. on June 14, 2017, including the following legal proceedings, as updated from the Form 10-K: United Kingdom Litigation (various claims on behalf of survivors and estates of decedents). The substantial majority of these suits were settled pursuant to the terms of a confidential settlement agreement and are now discontinued and closed. Those suits that have not been settled are stayed until the next case management conference, which will be heard on November 15, 2023. Behrens et al. v. Arconic Inc. et al. (various claims on behalf of survivors and estates of decedents). On September 16, 2020, the court dismissed the U.S. case, determining that the U.K. is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. On July 8, 2022, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal, and, on October 7, 2022, the Third Circuit Court denied a petition for a rehearing. On January 5, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court, which the Supreme Court denied on February 21, 2023. This case is dismissed and closed. Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al. (securities law related claims). On February 3, 2023, the court issued an order referring the case to mediation. In March 2023, following successive mediation sessions, the parties reached a settlement in principle that was subject to court approval and, among other things, is in the amount of $74 and is to be covered by insurance proceeds, in exchange for the dismissal of the action and a release of all claims against the defendants. The settlement is without admission of fault or wrongdoing by the defendants. Plaintiffs filed the Stipulation of Settlement, a motion to preliminarily approve the settlement, and related papers with the court on April 21, 2023. On May 2, 2023, the court issued an order granting plaintiffs’ motion to preliminarily approve the settlement. On August 9, 2023, the court granted final approval of the settlement. This case is dismissed and closed. Raul v. Albaugh, et al. (derivative related claim). The Raul case had been stayed until the final resolution of the Howard case and the regulatory investigations in the U.K. Following the final approval of the settlement and closure of the Howard case on August 9, 2023, the court in the Raul case ordered the parties to file joint status reports on September 12, 2023 and September 20, 2023. On September 19, 2023 and October 19, 2023, the parties filed joint status reports stating that they are exploring whether a resolution of the action may be possible and that if a resolution is not reached, defendants are prepared to move the court for an order lifting the stay so that they may move to dismiss the action. With respect to the regulatory investigations and the stockholder demands specified in the Form 10-K, there are no updates. Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”) Legal Proceeding. On June 26, 2020, Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”) filed proceedings in the High Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts of England and Wales (the “Court”) against two subsidiaries of the Company, FR Acquisitions Corporation (Europe) Ltd and JFB Firth Rixson Inc. (collectively, the “Firth Rixson Entities”). The proceedings concerned two interest rate swap transactions that the Firth Rixson Entities entered into with LBIE in 2007 and 2008. As a result of the ruling issued by the Court in October 2022, the Company recorded $65 in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and took a pre-tax charge of this amount in Other expense, net in the Statement of Consolidated Operations in the third quarter of 2022. The Firth Rixson Entities appealed the Court’s ruling, and the appeal was to be addressed at a hearing before the English Court of Appeal in June 2023 (the “Litigation”). On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Firth Rixson Entities, and LBIE reached a full and final settlement of all claims arising out of the Litigation (the “Settlement”). The Settlement provides for a payment of $40 to be paid to LBIE in two installments: $15 paid in July 2023 and $25 payable in July 2024. As a result of the Settlement, $25 of the amount previously recorded for the Litigation as a pre-tax charge in Other expense, net was reversed as a credit to Other expense, net in the Company’s second quarter 2023 results. The hearing before the English Court of Appeal was accordingly vacated. Other. In addition to the matters discussed above, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment, tax and antitrust matters. While the amounts claimed in these other matters may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot currently be determined because of the considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s liquidity or results of operations in a period could be materially affected by one or more of these other matters. However, based on facts currently available, management believes that the disposition of these other matters that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Commitments Guarantees As of September 30, 2023, Howmet had outstanding bank guarantees related to a European energy supply contract, tax matters, and customs duties, among others. The total amount committed under these guarantees, which expire at various dates between 2023 and 2040, was $20 as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2016, between Howmet and Alcoa Corporation, Howmet was required to provide certain guarantees for Alcoa Corporation, which had a fair value of $6 as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and were included in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining guarantee, for which the Company and Arconic Corporation are secondarily liable in the event of a payment default by Alcoa Corporation, relates to a long-term energy supply agreement that expires in 2047 at an Alcoa Corporation facility. The Company currently views the risk of an Alcoa Corporation payment default on its obligations under the contract to be remote. The Company and Arconic Corporation are required to provide a guarantee up to an estimated present value amount of approximately $1,040 as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the event of an Alcoa Corporation default. In December 2022 , a surety bond with a limit of $80 relating to this guarantee was obtained by Alcoa Corporation to protect Howmet’s obligation. This surety bond will be renewed on an annual basis by Alcoa Corporation. Letters of Credit The Company has outstanding letters of credit primarily related to workers’ compensation, environmental obligations, and insurance obligations, among others. The total amount committed under these letters of credit, which automatically renew or expire at various dates, primarily in 2023 and 2024, was $116 as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreements between the Company and Arconic Corporation and between the Company and Alcoa Corporation, the Company is required to retain letters of credit of $52 (which are included in the $116 in the above paragraph) that had previously been provided related to the Company, Arconic Corporation, and Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims that occurred prior to the respective separation transactions of April 1, 2020 and November 1, 2016. Arconic Corporation and Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation and letters of credit fees paid by the Company are proportionally billed to, and are reimbursed by, Arconic Corporation and Alcoa Corporation, respectively. Also, the Company was required to provide letters of credit for certain Arconic Corporation environmental obligations and, as a result, the Company has $17 of outstanding letters of credit relating to such liabilities (which are also included in the $116 in the above paragraph). Surety Bonds The Company has outstanding surety bonds primarily related to tax matters, contract performance, workers’ compensation, environmental-related matters, energy contracts, and customs duties. The total amount committed under these annual surety bonds, which automatically renew or expire at various dates, primarily in 2023 and 2024, was $42 as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreements between the Company and Arconic Corporation and between the Company and Alcoa Corporation, the Company is required to provide surety bonds of $21 (which are included in the $42 in the above paragraph) that had previously been provided related to the Company, Arconic Corporation, and Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims that occurred prior to the respective separation transactions of April 1, 2020 and November 1, 2016. Arconic Corporation and Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims and surety bond fees paid by the Company are proportionately billed to, and are reimbursed by, Arconic Corporation and Alcoa Corporation. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Howmet Aerospace Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Howmet” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The 2022 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company derived approximately 49% of its revenue from products sold to the commercial aerospace market which is substantially less than the 2019 annual rate of approximately 60%. During the global COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the commercial aerospace industry to date, there was a decrease in domestic and international air travel, which in turn adversely affected demand for narrow body and wide body aircraft. Domestic air travel has rebounded and exceeds 2019 levels. International air travel continues to recover and is approximately 90% of 2019 levels. We expect commercial aerospace growth to continue. The commercial wide body aircraft market is emerging but the mix of wide body to narrow body aircraft remains below 2019 levels, which is creating a shift in our product mix compared to 2019 conditions. In addition to the impact from the pandemic, the timing and level of future aircraft builds by original equipment manufacturers are subject to changes and uncertainties, which may cause our future results to differ from prior periods due to changes in product mix in certain segments. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments, estimates, and assumptions. These estimates are based on historical experience and, in some cases, assumptions based on current and future market experience, including considerations related to COVID-19 and changes in the aerospace industry. The impact of these changes, including the macroeconomic considerations, remains highly uncertain. Management has made its best estimates using all relevant information available at the time, but it is possible that our estimates will differ from our actual results and affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods and potentially require adverse adjustments to the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other judgments and estimations and assumptions. |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Adopted In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to enhance the transparency of disclosures regarding supplier finance programs. These changes became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the changes issued by the FASB related to disclosure requirements of supplier finance program obligations. We offer voluntary supplier finance programs to suppliers who may elect to sell their receivables to third parties at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. The program is at no cost to the Company and provides additional liquidity to our suppliers, if they desire, at their cost. Under these programs, the Company pays the third party bank rather than the supplier, the stated amount of the confirmed invoices on the original maturity date of the invoices. The Company or the third party bank may terminate a program upon at least 30 days’ notice. Supplier invoices under the program require payment in full no more than 120 days of the invoice date. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, supplier invoices that are subject to future payment under these programs were $254 and $240, respectively, and are included in Accounts payable, trade in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Issued In March 2020, the FASB issued amendments that provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB deferred the sunset date to December 31, 2024. The Company has amended its agreements in accordance with the new guidance (See Note J and Note N ) . Management has concluded that the impact of these changes is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
