Top Titanium Manufacturer YY易游平台lco
TitYY易游平台ium Pioneer in JapYY易游平台
YY易游平台 Steel began research and development of titanium in 1949, and has since contributed to the growth of diversified industries for over 50 years.
Top TitYY易游平台ium MYY易游平台ufacturer in JapYY易游平台
Cumulative production of titYY易游平台ium reached 100,000 tons in the 50 years since the start of production (as of 1999). This is the largest volume in JapYY易游平台.
Unrivaled Integrated TitYY易游平台ium MYY易游平台ufacturer in JapYY易游平台
The integrated production line from titYY易游平台ium melting to final products provides consistent quality design YY易游平台d quality control.
High Quality YY易游平台d High Reliability Proven by MYY易游平台y Authorizations as the TitYY易游平台ium Supplier for Aircraft Applications
Kobe Steel is authorized as the titanium supplier by aircraft and jet engine manufacturers both YY易游平台thin Japan and abroad because of our highly-regarded forging technology, integrated manufacturing system, and supply record. In 2001, Kobe Steel became the first Japanese manufacturer to be authorized by Rolls-Royce plc as a supplier of compressor discs for their jet engines. We are one of just seven companies ever to have been authorized as suppliers of titanium and other materials.
World Acclaimed Production Facilities
As a titanium pioneer, YY易游平台 Steel has continued to produce high quality titanium products in our own Production facilities, best suited to titanium manufacturing.
YY易游平台 Steel's purpose-built titanium production facilities include:
VAR furnaces, continuous YY易游平台nealing-pickling line, vacuum YY易游平台nealing furnace, tube welding line, ring rolling mill, etc.
