TIMET is the world's largest supplier of high quality titanium metal products. With its unique combination of strength, light weight, corrosion resistance and other metallurgical properties, titanium is used in hundreds of diverse aerospace, industrial and emerging applications where no other metal is as reliable or economical, especially on a lifecycle costing basis.
As a fully-integrated titanium manufacturer and distributor, TIMET's activities span every phase of titanium research, manufacturing and sales. We convert rutile ore into sponge; melt and refine ingot and slab; manufacture mill products; and distribute our products globally. We have the financial strength, capacity and technical solutions to meet the established demands for titanium and, as new uses for titanium accelerate, to lead the industry into the future.

TIMET is the world's leading fully-integrated titanium manufacturer, controlling every step of the process, from refining titanium sponge (the commercially-pure, elemental form of titanium) to melting ingot and slab (from sponge, scrap and alloy elements), to forging mill products.
The first step in the production of sponge (so-called for it's sponge-like appearance) involves the chlorination of titanium-containing rutile ore, derived from Australian beach sand. Chlorine and coke are combined with the rutile to produce titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), which is then reacted with magnesium in a closed system. The by-products are sponge and magnesium chloride. Using the Vacuum Distillation Process or Kroll-leach process, the magnesium and mag chloride are removed to be recycled.
The sponge is melted with scrap and/or alloying elements such as vanadium, aluminum, molybdenum, tin and zirconium in a Vacuum Arc Reduction furnance (to produce VAR ingots) or in an Electron Beam (EB) Cold Hearth furnace, to produce remelt electrodes which can then be VAR melted (typically to meet aerospace requirements) or direct cast to slabs.
VAR ingots (cylindrical shapes weighing up to 17,500 pounds) are forged to slabs (rectangular shapes) or billets (bar shapes). Ingots are also used for investment casting stock.

| Our state-of-the-art sponge plant in Henderson, Nevada converts rutile ore to the highest-quality titanium sponge partially through our unique Vacuum Distillation Process (20-million pound annual capacity) and by the Kroll-leach Process (12-million pound annual capacity). Using Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) furnaces, the Henderson plant has the capacity to melt up to 30 million pounds of ingot per year. TIMET pioneered triple VAR melting to produce titanium ingot that meets the critical rotating jet engine quality specifications. Research and Development facilities located at the Henderson plant are the most extensive and productive in the industry. Research scale equipment for all melting, forging and rolling is used to improve processes and develop new alloys to meet customer needs. In Toronto, Ohio ingots are forged into slabs, billets and bars. Slabs are subsequently hot rolled to sheet and plate or cold rolled for strip and welded tube applications. Billets and bars are produced to meet the highest quality standards in the world. Our Sendzimir cold rolling mill is the only dedicated titanium strip rolling facility in the world and our continuous vacuum annealing facility is the only one of its type. Our Morgantown Operations are totally integrated facilities for titanium scrap recycling, Electron Beam Cold Hearth Refining (EBCHR), Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR), and casting of titanium and other specialty metals. For industrial and aerospace applications, we direct cast refined metal into a variety of remelt and starting stock products in various alloys. | At our plant in Witton near Birmingham, England raw materials, including sponge, are purchased to feed VAR melting furnaces with 16 million pounds of annual capacity. The plant then forges ingots into billet for aerospace applications, produces intermediate billet and slab for processing at our Wales facility and fabricates wire. Witton also houses our highly productive European research and development laboratory. At Waunarlwydd, Wales we produce hot rolled bar and fan blade plate for jet engine and medical applications. With an annual bar rolling capacity of 4 million pounds per year, this plant is one of the most significant suppliers of titanium bar in the world. Our fan blade plate is used in the newest technology jet engines and is supplied in both flat and proprietary taper-rolled forms. The Ugine, France facility purchases raw materials to melt approximately 4 million pounds of VAR ingot annually. These ingots are forged into both rotating and structural quality billet for aerospace applications. Our facility in Loterios covers both the marketing and production of titanium goods. Loterios specializes in marketing of Ti mill products and semis, like ingots, coils, sheets, wire, forgings and the like is carried on by an experienced sales team , with the support of a well organized Service Center. |

We are the only source of both flat and proprietary taper rolled fan blade plate. Airframes Industrial -TIMET initiated widespread use of titanium for corrosion resistance through the development of our Coderoll® product line. Today, TIMET products are ASME Code certified for use in hundreds of industrial applications, and we are one of the world's largest supplier to the industrial market segment. The uses for titanium in industry are growing faster than ever before as more and more engineers are discovering it can reduce lifecycle costs across a broad range of equipment and processes. Titanium has an exceptionally high strength to weight ratio. Titanium's favorable density (approximately half that of ferrous and nickel based metals) means that when equipment costs are calculated on a per unit area of measure basis, rather than per pound, the differential cost of material required narrows dramatically. In other words, about half as much titanium is required to do the same job, based on strength, or the same weight of titanium will go twice as far. Further closing the gap, when applied properly, titanium requires no corrosion allowance; pressure and structural requirements for the system are the only criteria for specifying wall thickness. Any remaining higher up front costs are almost always recouped in multiple due to increased production time and reduced maintenance. Titanium forms a very tenacious surface oxide layer, which is an outstanding corrosion inhibitor. In many harsh environments it can can outlast competing materials as much as 5%3A1. Lower failure rates translate to less downtime, reduced maintenance and total lower cost. As a result, TIMET titanium has found a home in numerous industries ranging from power generation to chemical processing to desalination plants. In power generating plants, where saline, brackish or polluted waters are used as the cooling medium, titanium thin wall condenser tubing will last for the life of the condenser (with a 40-year warranty against failure under proper conditions) and eliminate the need for a corrosion allowance. Our facility in Loterios was a promoter of titanium usage for pipe and fittings in the North Sea oil platforms: years of supplying pipe, flanges and specialty items has gained LOTERIOS the reputation of being an outstanding leader in the Offshore market. Many chemical processing operations specify titanium to increase equipment life. It offers lifecycle cost advantages over copper, nickel and stainless steel grades, while providing initial cost advantages over materials such as high nickel alloys, tantalum and zirconium. For more information on corrosion resistant alloys for the Chemical Processing Industry, Oil & Gas -In petroleum exploration and production, titanium pipe's light weight and flexibility make it an excellent material for deep sea production risers. In addition, titanium's immunity to attack by sea water makes it the preferred material for topside water management systems. It is used on existing platforms in the North Sea and many more projects are in the planning stages. And since it shows virtually no corrosion in salt water, titanium is also the material of choice in desalination plants worldwide. For more information email us: titaniumoil&gas@TIMET.com TIMET manufactures alloys for dozens of other industrial purposes, such as flue gas desulphurization for pollution control, PTA plants for polyester production, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and hydrometallurgial autoclaves. Each grade is tailored to specific operating conditions, emphasizing strength for different pressures, alloy content for different corrosive agents and ductility for different fabrication requirements. |
