BRITISH TITANIUM: S. WALES PLANT FIRST IN WORLD FOR WROUGHT PRODUCTS
Abstract
U.K. output of wrought titanium, first marketed in this country in 1955, has until recently been absorbed largely by the aircraft industry, where the unique strength /weight ratio of the metal is of outstanding importance. Recent changes in defence policy, however, have led to a reappraisal of the long‐term requirements of the aircraft industry and to the view that titanium's largest potential output probably lies in its use for the construction of chemical plant, where its remarkable resistance to corrosion promises to effect some revolutionary changes.
