Designed for Performance, Engineered for Efficiency

Titanium extrusions are ideally suited for applications where weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and mechanical performance are critical. Plymouth®’s extrusion process enables the production of consistent cross-sectional profiles over length, allowing customers to achieve precise fits while significantly improving material efficiency and buy-to-fly ratios.

Some of the performance advantages of titanium extrusions include:

  • High Strength-To-Weight Ratio: Titanium aerospace extrusions provide lightweight structural performance often used in aircraft construction.
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Titanium surpasses the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, even in aggressive environments.
  • Superior Fatigue Resistance: For cyclic and high-stress applications, titanium extrusions ensure a long performance lifetime.
  • Thermal Stability: The strong passivation layer in titanium provides high thermal stability across a wide temperature range.
  • Biocompatibility: For medical and specialty applications, titanium’s biocompatibility are essential for the effectiveness of dental and orthopedic implants.
  • Reduced Machining: Plymouth®’s near-net titanium extrusions require minimal secondary processing or machining to help optimize manufacturing time.

Industrial Applications

Aerospace Tubing

Titanium is widely used to in aerospace extrusions due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and compatibility with composite structures.

Elevator Sills

For elevator sills requiring additional strength or durability, Plymouth fabricates industrial extrusions to match customers’ design specifications.

Protection Systems

Our German production facility, Plymouth Schwerter Technik®, produces titanium extrusions and profiles used in ballistic and sandwich grilles for armored vehicles, decreasing the protection system’s weight while offering high ballistic integrity.

Space Propulsion

Near-net titanium profiles maintain mechanical integrity and dimensional tolerances while reducing component weight, machining, and material waste to construct efficient propulsion systems.
