Titanium Parts
During the postwar years, Steel Improvement worked on significant projects, expanding their interest in the aerospace industry.
One involved forging a new metal, titanium (named so as a reference to the strength of the Greek Titans), for General Electric's jet engine division. Titanium is as strong as highly alloyed steel, yet weighs only a little more than half as much and is extremely corrosion resistant. It is an ideal material for aircraft and used for structural components, engine supports, compressor blades, disks and housing of jet engines, among other things. In 1949, after much effort and a few false starts, Steel Improvement successfully forged a titanium compressor disc, which later proved to be an historic step forward for the company.
