ASM Aerospace Specification
Metals was established over 25 years ago and has grown to be a
leading supplier of titanium; ASM specializes in the supply of
all aerospace grades of titanium, including commercially pure.
Since the late 1970s, ASM
has been supplying titanium to the aerospace industry, medical
industry and petroleum-chemical processing industry. We have
become a premier international supplier of all titanium raw
materials: titanium sheet, titanium plate, titanium rod,
titanium bar, titanium coil, titanium tubing, titanium ingot,
titanium extrusions, as well as titanium castings and
forgings. ASM Aerospace Specification Metals is ISO 9001 &
AS 9100A registered, providing high integrity titanium meeting
the material requirements of the most demanding industries.
Titanium is 30%
stronger than steel, but is nearly 50% lighter. Titanium
is 60% heavier than aluminum, but twice as strong.
Titanium has excellent strength retention to 1,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Titanium is alloyed with aluminum,
manganese, iron, molybdenum and other metals to increase
strength, to withstand high temperatures, and to lighten the
resultant alloy. Titanium’s high corrosion resistance is
also a valuable characteristic, as when exposed to the
atmosphere, titanium forms a tight, tenacious oxide film that
resists many corrosive materials, particularly salt water.
In the 1950s, the titanium metal industry was established
primarily in response to the emerging aerospace industry which
used it in the manufacture of airframe structural components
and skin, aircraft hydraulic systems, air engine components,
rockets, missiles, and space craft, where these properties are
invaluable. The military also uses titanium in its
guided missiles and in artillery. As the 1970s
approached, the cost of titanium products dropped, making it
more available for other practical applications such as
shipbuilding: primarily in submarines, in ship’s propellers,
shafts, rigging, and other highly corrosive parts.
Titanium is being increasingly utilized for medical
applications due to its light weight, its strength, and its
hypoallergenic properties as titanium is also nickel free.
Titanium products are becoming increasingly utilized in other
industries as well, from petrochemical applications to
sporting goods.
