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. TC titanium 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.
