Titanium Sponge

Listing ID #3687933

KMML has taken a big leap into aerospace industry and defence application with the commissioning of 500TPY Titanium Sponge Plant. The idea of setting up a Titanium Sponge Plant took shape in this context so that the country’s strategic programs in Defence and Aerospace are not affected for want of Titanium sponge. Former President of India His Excellency Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam highlighted the importance of setting up of Titanium Sponge Plant at Chavara during his speech at Kerala Legislative Assembly. The Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL under DRDO) developed the process of sponge production after twenty years of continuous R&D and established an experimental facility at Hyderabad. By the Commissioning of KMML TSP India has become the seventh country in the world to have the technology to make Titanium Sponge. The project is fully funded by Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC under ISRO) and the sponge produced will be used for their aerospace applications.
