Use of Titanium
This is why I am liking Titanium (Ti). Here is an segment from ATI’s report… look at the growth here:
“Sales of our titanium alloys to airframe customers continued to grow. High Performance Metals segment titanium product shipments in the second quarter 2007 were 16% higher than the second quarter 2006 and 10% higher than the first quarter 2007. Part of this increase is due to the expanding use of titanium in airframes. Specifically, in the second quarter 2007 sales of our titanium alloys to airframe customers were 43% higher than the first quarter 2007 and more than four times higher than the second quarter 2006.”
I really like the term ‘expanding use of titanium’.
