Title: Testing titanium alloy wire
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: The first commercial production of titanium metal resulted, in large part, from DuPont research. The metal has excellent corrosion resistance and strength-weight ratio. The world's first small scale commercial production of the ductile titanium metal was stated in 1948 at the company's Newport, Delaware plant. To meet vital military requirements, it has been developed at a much faster rate than usual for a newly produced metal. This test demonstrates its strength. Titanium alloy wire weighs...

To meet vital military requirements, it has been developed at a much faster rate than usual for a newly produced metal. This test demonstrates its strength. Titanium alloy wire weighs about half as much as stainless steel, but supports almost twice as much.

Show moreStages of production of titanium metal are illustrated here. Raw material for its is ilmenite (left), a black sand like ore which is also the basic material for titanium dioxide pigments, the whitest white pigment made. First stage of the metal is in the form of sponge (second left) and next to it is an ingot of titanium. To the right are small fabricated pieces, used for test purposes. DuPont developed the first commercial production of the ductile metal in 1948. It became possible as a result of broadening of research into the field of titanium chemistry by the company, coupled with research and development by the U.S. Bureau of Mines on the Kroll process. DuPont has been manufacturing titanium pigments for many years at its Newport, Delaware plant. The company sells the metal in sponge and ingot forms, but is not in the fabrication field.
