Reliability of raw materials which are required for a specific production is essential for industrial manufacturing. Specialty metals are used in steelmaking, aerospace, automotive and advanced engineering. Knowing the various forms of metals enables businesses to make informed sourcing decisions, processing, and recycling.
Molybdenum is used for its high-temperature properties and the strengthening and durability of steel and other alloys used in construction. A variety of molybdenum are used by manufacturers according to their manufacturing processes. Molybdenum scrap is produced during the manufacturing process, such as during the machining and fabrication process. This material can be assessed for recovery potential by businesses, rather than discarded as waste, through the right metal recycling programs. Good segregation and material identification can enhance recovery results.
The molybdenum powder is employed in special production methods such as powder metallurgy and the manufacture of high-tech parts. The particle characteristics and component chemistry may affect the quality and uniformity of the final product. The molybdenum pellets are suitable for controlled additions in metallurgical applications, and the molybdenum briquettes are suitable for bulk handling and furnace charging in applications where compact, high density material is required. Manufacturers are encouraged to take into account the composition, size, purity, handling requirements and compatibility of the materials sourced for their intended uses.
Titanium is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. It is useful in demanding industrial applications such as the aerospace, medical device, chemical processing and other industries.
Titanium sponge is an important intermediate product in the production of titanium and is used as the feedstock for many operations of titanium melting. It is important due to its chemical composition since impurities can affect the properties of the resulting metal.
Titanium powder is used in the powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. Particle size, shape, flowability and chemical uniformity are all factors to take into account when choosing the powder for a particular manufacturing process. Manufacturers should consider carefully the specifications of the materials to ensure that the chosen titanium product can be produced.
Efficient material management is more than just the raw material purchase. Another way of doing this is by evaluating the residues of production and unused stock in order to find recovery and recycling opportunities for manufacturers. Classification of materials by type and grade to facilitate more accurate assessment and responsible management.
Globe Metal collaborates with customers in the industrial field for special metal recycling and material supply. Businesses can review its material footprint and services to gain an understanding of the options for sourcing and recovery. When determining material specifications, choosing the right metal forms and managing resources for recycling, manufacturers can help ensure reliable production, and maximize resource efficiency
