Forms, Sizes and Grades to Meet Your Specifications TIMET supplies architectural titanium as coil, sheet, composite panel and tube. Sheet is the most commonly used form, with typical thicknesses from .4mm to 1mm, available in widths up to 48". Commercially pure Grade 1 (ASTM B265) is most commonly specified for architectural applications. Conventional installation and fabrication procedures, similar to those used for other architectural metals, apply to architectural titanium. Its workability is comparable to stainless steel.

Standard metal forming tools, processing and techniques are used to shear, form, machine and join titanium. Regular TIG welding procedures can be employed and titanium's self-restoring oxide film prevents welds from deteriorating. In addition, titanium's appearance can be customized through a variety of secondary metal processing techniques, including etching, embossing, spinning, abrasive blasting, plating and perforating.

A Cost Effective Building Material Titanium has come of age as a competitive building material. New, more effective production techniques, combined with an abundance of raw and refined ore, have improved availability. Titanium's corrosion immunity, strength and physical properties combine to allow reduced wall thickness, lowering its installed unit cost. Well-researched designs that capitalize on its unique attributes and long-term savings from durability and low maintenance make titanium one of today's most cost effective building materials on a lifecycle basis.
