Titanium Products

Titanium from ingot to finished equipment, melted, worked and fabricated under a traceability chain that survives a decade of audits.

Development and manufacture

Titanium is unforgiving of process shortcuts, and most of what separates a good supplier from a bad one happens before anything is machined. We melt by vacuum arc remelting, twice for critical grades, and control interstitial oxygen and iron tightly because they set both strength and ductility. Every heat is tested and every product is traceable back to it — for medical grades, back to the individual bar.

Fabrication is where titanium is most often spoiled. Welding is done under trailing shield and, for pressure equipment, in purged chambers with colour-checked weld backs, by welders qualified to the specific procedure. Our own laboratory does the chemistry, mechanical testing and ultrasonic inspection, so a certificate reflects a measurement made here rather than one passed along.

Product scope

Ingots and bars

Grade 1, 2, 5, 7, 9 and 12 ingots, billets and bars, VAR melted and forged or rolled to size with full heat traceability.

Tubes, plates and sheets

Seamless and welded tube, hot and cold rolled plate and sheet, pickled or descaled, in commercially pure and alloy grades.

Wire and forgings

Drawn wire for welding and fasteners, plus closed-die and open-die forgings, ring rolled and heat treated to specification.

Heat exchangers and condensers

Shell-and-tube and plate exchangers in titanium for seawater, brine and aggressive chemical service.

Titanium anodes

Mixed metal oxide and platinised anodes for electroplating, electrolysis, cathodic protection and water treatment.

Medical alloy blanks

Ti-6Al-4V ELI bar and blanks for bone screws, plates and implants, supplied to ASTM F136 with full test reports.

High-pressure reactors

Titanium-clad and solid titanium reactors, autoclaves and columns, fabricated and certified for pressure service.
