About Titanium

Brief History

A rather new element, discovered independently by the British and Germans around the turn of the 18th century, Titanium had to wait until the Kroll process enabled wide-scale production in 1946. It was too late for many World War 2 designs and applications that sorely needed it.

From the 1950’s onward the aerospace and defense industries have invested significantly in the production of this important metal due to its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Further improvements in processing chemistry and methodology have made the material more available outside the defense industrial complex making it the metal of choice for critical civilian applications.

As with Parmigiano, the answer to how much Titanium you should use in your application is always; “as much you can afford”.

What we do with Titanium

Our product chemistry specializes in custom shapes and materials chiefly, ceramic, that specialize in the 1200-1700 C range. These are temperatures where much of the processing of titanium happens and where other material chemistries fail. We make custom components to service the different areas of the Titanium Refining, Smelting, alloying and shaping processes.

Customized Solutions for the Titanium Industry

Kroll Process

Vacuum Arc Furnace

A tried and true process but the devil is in the details and there is always room for improvement. Let us take a gander at those seals and ladle covers and see if we can't knock down that energy bill.

Vacuum Arc Furnace

Do you have a Vacuum Arc Furnace? We know things can get pretty weird in there. We make your days safer and more productive with a variety of custom components that you will be happy to have on your shop floor.

Compaction

We help you with various forms of compaction challenges. Spark Plasma Sintering can get really sticky and barrier layers can help you in your near-net shape applications.

Recycling

Compaction

The only thing better than making titanium is recycling it! 95% of aerospace titanium is recycled and for good reason. Whether you have an existing process or are looking to develop a new one, give us a call and lets us help you with the awfully high melting point.
