Titanium is melted either
by the Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) process, or by utilization of a cold hearth
furnace process. If the grade of titanium being melted is an “alloyed” grade,
the alloying agents are added during the compacting process. The ingot is
then processed into the various mill product forms using standard metal working
equipment.

Titanium
The element titanium is found in the forms of rutile
and ilmenite in beach sand. Today, the rutile is generally mined in Australia,
and South Africa.
To produce the metal, the rutile is combined with
coke or tar, and chlorine gas and then heat is applied creating titanium tetrachloride
(TiCl 4). The TiCl 4 is then converted through a chemical process to a “sponge”
product which is then melted into an ingot form.

Titanium
Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a
lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength.
Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminium, vanadium, and molybdenum, among
other elements, to produce strong, lightweight alloys for aerospace (jet engines, missiles,
and spacecraft), military, industrial processes (chemicals and petrochemicals, desalination
plants, pulp, and paper), automotive, agri-food, medical prostheses, orthopedic implants,
dental and endodontic instruments and files, dental implants, sporting goods,
jewelry, mobile phones, and other applications.

The Importance Of Titanium
Titanium is a very important mineral, owing to its weight which is both strong and light at the same time
The metal is as tough as steel and twice as strong as aluminum.
Yet, it is 45% lighter than steel. Neither those the metal easily corrode
when in sea water. No wonder, it is used in propeller shafts, rigging and
other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water.
Titanium is widely used as a pigment in paint, in paper, and in plastics.
With the metals duality, it is no surprise that most aircraft parts are made
from it. It is also used in military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical
devices, connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium.
These are used in these industries specifically because her low weight and
resistance to high temperatures are important.
Humans, with loss of limbs, also use titanium. As the metal does not react
within the human body, it is also used for pins of setting bones and for
other biological implants. Ilmenite and Rutile are the most important
sources of titanium and contribute to about 90% of Titanium production in
a year .
Rutile mining and Ilmenite mining. They are based in the southern
state Tamil Nadu in India. By industry standards they are the leaders in the
heavy mineral mining industry.
