Indicative only, not a contract price. How MetalsPlace sources its prices
Titanium combines high strength with low weight and excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it the workhorse metal of aerospace, chemical plant and medical implants. Most mined titanium is actually used as titanium dioxide pigment; only a small share becomes metal, via sponge made by the Kroll process. Scrap is an important feed because titanium parts are often machined from much larger blocks.
Titanium is not exchange-traded. Sponge, ingot, mill products and scrap all have separate contract prices, and scrap is graded by alloy (for example Grade 2 or Grade 5) and form, with clean solids worth more than mixed turnings.
Titanium parts are often machined from billets several times their finished weight, generating a lot of high-value scrap. Melters reuse it to cut the energy and cost of making new metal from sponge, and lower grades go into ferrotitanium for steelmaking.
