The Dynamet Process

Quality starts at the
beginning. Dynamet’s
processes begin with the
purchase of titanium, and Blooms
other specialty alloys in
ingot or bloom/billet form.
Material is sourced from
a select group of qualified
global suppliers to meet
precise customer and
industry specifications.

• Purchased ingot is inspected,

pressed and conditioned to
9" RCS (round corner square)
blooms.

• 9" RCS is then rolled on

Dynamet's Tippins Mill to 4 1/8"
rounds. After conditioning the
turned round is then processed
through the Tippins Mill and/or
the Kocks Mill into hot rolled Ingot
bar or hot rolled coil.

• The hot rolled bar is annealed,

warm straightened and then
processed to meet customer
specifications for ground bar,
custom tolerance bar, precision
bar or precision shapes.

• The hot rolled coil is processed

into seam free coil and then can
follow the path to fine wire, weld Centerless Ground Bar,
wire spools or straight lengths, Custom Tolerance Bar,
shaped wire or precision shapes. and Precision Bar

Dynamet’s Coil and Bar products are the foundation of the business. The company
was built on the highest quality heading wire available for titanium aerospace
fasteners. The same commitment to quality is evident in the titanium machining
bar products manufactured by Dynamet.
