RTI Produces First Titanium in Martinsville

RTI International Metals Inc. produced the first certified commercial aerospace titanium at its new $135 million forging, grinding and hot-rolling manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Va. The startup follows more than 10 months of certification testing to meet the stringent initial qualification requirements from Airbus.

“The Martinsville plant is a key new addition to RTI's ability to meet the expanding titanium needs of Airbus. RTI is the largest North American titanium supplier to Airbus, and this new facility adds an additional link in RTI's ability to meet their needs across the entire supply chain,” says Dawne Hickton, vice chair, president and CEO of RTI.

At full capacity, the forging facility can produce up to 14 million pounds of material annually. Further qualifications for the grinding and rolling mill processes will take place in the future.
