Processing New Metals: Details of the Metal Melting aud Rolling Facilities Utilized by Imperial Metal Industries (Kynoch) Ltd.

TEN years ago, Imperial Metal Industries (Kynoch) Ltd. confined their interest in the so‐called new metals (i.e. those not then available for commercial use) to titanium. This metal by itself provided I.M.I. metallurgists and engineers with more than enough headaches, as they learned to cope with its very high melting point, its habit of absorbing deleterious gases and the modifications it imposed on normal metal‐working processes.
