Contact Investor Relations - For more information email us: investor.relations@timet.com Markets - Aerospace - Commercial Aerospace Since the advent of the jet engine, TIMET has led the way in developing new alloys and production techniques to meet ever tighter standards for high-temperature performance, creep resistance, strength, and metallurgical structure. Through triple melting, or in some cases, electron beam cold hearth melting, TIMET assures our customers the highest quality metal. Our forging processes provide the most refined metallurgical structure available, to yield the most reliable parts downstream. Jet Engines TIMET is the world's largest manufacturer of premium quality billet and bar for critical jet engine rotating applications, holding approvals from all major engine manufacturers for virtually every type of titanium. Our fan blade plate is used in the newest technology jet engines, where wide chord fan blades increase efficiency while reducing noise. We are the only source of both flat and proprietary taper rolled fan blade plate. Airframes TIMET is also a large supplier to the airframe structural market. Innovative alloys such as TIMETAL 10-2-3 and 21S replace steel and nickel alloys in Boeing 777 landing gear and nacelle applications, respectively. These substitutions enable airframe manufacturers to save weight and improve aircraft efficiency. 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, see our page on the Chemicals Technology website or email us: cpi.dev@timet.com 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. |
