Extraction of titanium

titanium metal sheets is a popular manufacturing material due to its properties of excellent corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio. It does not occur naturally in its pure form, although it is found in many other elements, and so it must be extracted from ores or mineral deposits. The most common methods used to extract titanium are the Kroll method and the Hunter method. Once titanium has been drawn out from its element, it is melted down into stock shapes and sizes which are then available for transportation and secondary fabrication. Regulated bar sizes ensure that manufacturers can efficiently transport, store and machine the metal. Common processes used to create titanium round bars include hot forging, hot rolling, polishing, machining, extrusion, welding, casting and spinning. These techniques are also implemented in the fabrication of titanium parts for industries such as aerospace, medical and dental, automotive, agricultural, food processing and more.
