- Titanium sponge is a porous form of titanium that
is created during the first stage of processing.
- In its natural form, titanium is widely available
within the earth’s crust.
- After being extracted, it is processed to remove
excess materials and convert it into a usable, although costly,
product.
- In powder form, it is dark gray, titanium is as
strong as steel with only 45% of its weight, so when combined with
other metals, it greatly improves the strength and the ability to
withstand extremes of temperature.
- Titanium sponge metal was produced by four
operations in Nevada, Oregon, and Utah.
- Ingot was produced by 10 operations in 8 States.
- Numerous firms consumed ingot to produce wrought
products and castings.
- In 2010, an estimated 75% of the titanium metal
was used in aerospace applications.
- The remaining 25% was used in armor, chemical
processing, marine, medical, power generation, sporting goods, and
other nonaerospace applications.
- The value of sponge metal consumed was about $339
million, assuming an average selling price of $11.38 per kilogram.
- Titanium is used to produce parts for jet
engines, missiles, orthopedic implants, jewelry and mobile
telephones.
- The most important properties of titanium are its
low density and high level of corrosion resistance.
- Although six times as expensive
as steel, titanium is very resistant to corrosion in both sea water
and chlorinated water, making it popular with a wide range of
manufacturers.
- Titanium and its alloys are used extensively for
coating the surface of implantable medical devices to accelerate
bone growth and the healing process.
- ISRO has entered into an agreement with
state-owned Kerala Minerals & Metals Ltd (KMML) to establish a
titanium sponge plant.
