Industrial-grade Titanium Sponge produced via the vacuum distillation Kroll process. Raw metallic titanium in porous, granular form, utilized primarily as the fundamental feedstock for vacuum arc remelting (VAR) into titanium ingots and high-purity alloy production. Direct melt-shop ready with controlled hardness and low interstitial impurity levels.
Key Features
Controlled oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and iron levels to prevent embrittlement in downstream melting.
Minimized magnesium and chlorine residuals achieved through optimized vacuum distillation cycles.
Consistent granule sizing tailored for direct compaction or electrode feeding.
Sourced from controlled raw material inputs with complete heat-to-heat documentation.

Applications
Titanium Ingot Melting
Primary raw feed for Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) and Electron Beam (EB) furnaces to produce commercial and aerospace alloy ingots (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V).
Master Alloys
Alloying additive for specialty steel and superalloy manufacturing.
Powder Metallurgy
Feedstock for hydrogenated-dehydrogenated (HDH) titanium powder production.
Quality Control & Manufacturing Capability
Production Process: Multi-retort reduction furnaces coupled with high-temperature vacuum distillation units to strip residual magnesium chloride.
In-House Testing: Direct-reading emission spectrometers (OES), inert gas fusion analyzers for interstitial gases (LECO for O, N, H), and Brinell hardness testing equipment.
Facility Standard: Production runs adhere to strict internal quality management systems aligned with ISO 9001 and aerospace metallurgical requirements.
Packaging & Shipping
Packaging Configuration
Sealed argon-filled or vacuum-sealed steel drums (typically net weight 100kg - 250kg) to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.

FAQ
Q: Can the particle size distribution be customized for specific electrode pressing requirements?
A: Yes. Mechanical crushing and multi-stage screening lines allow sizing tailored to specific bulk density and feeding targets.
Q: How is oxidation prevented during ocean freight?
A: Drums are hermetically sealed under protective argon atmospheres, eliminating moisture ingress during transit.
Q: Are samples available for laboratory melt testing?
A: Sample quantities (typically 5kg - 10kg) are supplied for qualified metallurgical evaluation and chemical verification.
