ATI Inc. (NYSE: ATI) has brought online a state-of-the-art facility in Pageland, South Carolina to produce titanium alloy sheet.
The material is critical to airframe manufacturers, bringing strength and durability to aerostructure components and assemblies.
Known in the industry as 'pack rolled sheet,' the product must meet exacting industry requirements.
Layers of titanium plate are hot rolled to ultra-thin sheets in gauges as thin as 0.020 inches, at lengths up to 25 feet, with the highest surface quality.
ATI recently announced a multi-year agreement with Airbus for titanium plate, sheet and billet for narrow and widebody aircraft.
Officials said the titanium alloy sheet for this engagement will be produced at the Pageland facility.
