Titanium Metals Corporation

SERVICE CENTERS: Your Access to the World’s Complete Titanium Resource

As part of TIMET's fully-integrated approach, we have international service center and distribution network that stocks the largest off-the-shelf inventory in the world and offers a host of value-added services.

Complete Customer Support

Our in-house metal processing services include sawing, shearing, cutting-to-length and torch cutting. Through quality-audited local subcontractors, we offer machining, heat treating, water-jet and laser cutting, perforating and slitting. By delivering material ready for your first operation, we help you reduce excess and work-in-progress inventory, shorten cycle times, eliminate scrap loss and improve plant efficiency.

Inventory control and JIT delivery programs enable us to stock material according to your forecasts and ship as required. Coupled with scrap and surplus inventory buyback programs, this allows you to completely offload your titanium sourcing responsibilities and lower your operating costs. TIMET also boasts the world’s most extensive dedicated titanium R&D facilities, with an emphasis on customer support, technical and laboratory services, and product and process development.

We can quickly provide product and alloy data sheets and fabrication guidelines, via fax or web, and tap into our large private library of published and proprietary titanium research.

TIMET Service Centers maintain the world’s largest off-the-shelf inventory and dependably stock the industry’s broadest range of product forms and alloys, so you can purchase what you need, delivered when you need it. We can provide anything from single pieces to heat lots and our mill ownership gives us the capacity to meet unusual demands. Small quantities are available for JIT and expedited shipping. You can depend on a single source with consistently competitive prices to meet all your titanium requirements.

Products for Every Application

• Standard Mill Products
  include all common grades and sizes of billet, bar, plate, sheet, strip, welded tube, pipe, fittings, casting electrodes and weld wire. By offering both job quantities of titanium from our mills and the necessary corresponding supplemental products, TIMET has become the leading supplier to industrial markets.

• Custom Products
  are manufactured through our Service Center metal processing services. Machining blocks are cut to tight tolerances from billet and bar and delivered in small quantities with short lead times. Unique ‘master plates’ are cut to customer specs to meet block requirements that don’t lend themselves to forging. Aerospace bar is stocked in rolled, forged or cut shapes and a full line of aero flatroll can be sheared or slit. Extrusions can also be manufactured to specific design shapes to reduce the need for machining.

Worldwide Service Orientation

TIMET's Service Centers are strategically located in major aerospace, industrial and manufacturing hubs in the US and Europe, to ensure product and service availability on a responsive, regional basis.

To service the growing offshore energy exploration and production markets, TIMET has acquired Loterios, S.p.A., in Milan, Italy. Loterios is one of Italy's largest fabricators and distributors of titanium products and a leading supplier of large scale titanium mill products and supplementals for North Sea platforms. It has furnished a majority of the titanium fire- and service-water piping in the North Sea and offers considerable expertise and experience using titanium offshore. It also concentrates on supplying fluid handling components for corrosive environments to the CPI.

At each Service Center, dedicated sales teams are responsive and informed, and empowered to satisfy your exact quantity, quality and delivery requirements. Commitments that are made, are kept, so you receive the metal you order, on time, ready for your immediate processing.

TIMET affords you distinct quality benefits because our Service Centers are stocked either by our own fully-integrated manufacturing facilities or with high-quality material purchased from suppliers certified by TIMET’s QA Department. Our stringent quality processes and techniques ensure the highest quality metal, with complete traceability. As the leading supplier to the aerospace market, our mill products are certified to the toughest specifications. TIMET’s Service Center network is ISO 9002 qualified and approved by end users to stock aircraft quality inventory for critical rotating parts. Our industrial products are ASTM and ASME certified and meet all common industry specifications.
