Titanium sponge is a high purity, coarse powdered or granular form of titanium metal with high porosity. Standard titanium sponge sizes include -100 mesh, -8/+16 mesh, and 1-3mm; other sizes may be available by request. Titanium sponge has a wide variety of uses including functioning as an oxygen getter and catalyst.

Titanium sponge Titanium tetrachloride 1. Introduction Titanium metal is produced in the US at three facilities: PCC/Timet in Henderson, NV, Allegheny Technologies (ATI), at Rowley UT (Now idle), and Honeywell Electronic Materials in Salt Lake City.

Contact Us We produce commercially pure titanium sponge with very low levels of nickel, chromium and other metallic impurities. This material is perfectly suited for highly pure CP Ti production, specialty titanium alloys and powder production

Historically, titanium has been expensive and energy- and carbon-intensive to produce. The primary feedstock for titanium products is titanium sponge. The current process for creating titanium ...

Sponge titanium is usually prepared by reduction of titanium tetrachloride and gets its spongelike character from the processes involved in production. This spongy characteristic, however, is not considered essential and may be expected to vary greatly with manufacturing methods.

Titanium sponge oxidizes easily. Its large exposed area can absorb a lot of oxygen, the oxidized sponge titanium is impossible to remove oxygen elements in the casting of titanium ingots unlike steel making and only be discarded. Long-term storage of titanium sponge is costly and dangerous.

The TSWG analyzed the markets of titanium sponge, titanium metal, and titanium-embedded aerospace products in order to propose recommendations that can ensure access to titanium sponge in the U.S., as well as promote the long-term health, competitiveness, and sustainability of the U.S.

Sponge Titanium. The titanium sponge and accompanying metals are blended in proper proportions to develop an alloy of interest. From: Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications, 2018.

The processing of titanium metal occurs in four major steps: reduction of titanium ore into "sponge", a porous form; melting of sponge, or sponge plus a master alloy to form an ingot; primary fabrication, where an ingot is converted into general mill products such as billet, bar, plate, sheet, strip, and tube; and secondary fabrication of ...

Abstract. Titanium has excellent all-round performance, but the high cost of its production limits its widespread use. Currently, the Kroll process used to commercially produce titanium sponge is inefficient, energy-intensive, and highly polluting to …
