Titanium metal is ductile and readily workable, as illustrated by these sample sheets, tubes and bars which were fabricated from DuPont metal on normal steel working equipment. Titanium has excellent strength-weight ratio and outstanding corrosion...
Stages of production of titanium metal are illustrated here. Raw material for its is ilmenite (left), a black sand like ore which is also the basic material for titanium dioxide pigments, the whitest white pigment made. First stage of the metal is...
Metal degreasing at DuPont's Electrochemicals Sales Service Laboratory at Chestnut Run. Metal soiled with lubricants and dirt picked up during fabrication enter one end of degreaser and emerges from the other thoroughly clean, dry and ready for...
Two modern hot metal mixers which receive the molten iron from the blast furnace on a track to the right out of sight. The hot metal ladle is lifted and poured into the mixer at the top. The transfer ladle in the lower left is moved into...
The first commercial production of titanium metal resulted, in large part, from DuPont research. The metal has excellent corrosion resistance and strength-weight ratio. The world's first small scale commercial production of the ductile titanium...
A crane size chunk of titanium metal sponge weighing 2,500 pounds reflects growth in DuPont's production of the metal by 1953. World's first small scale commercial production of the metal was announce by DuPont in 1948. Maximum output then was ...
Ultrasonic energy is used at DuPont's new Electrochemicals Sales Service Laboratory to clean metal parts fouled with grease and dirt during fabrication. This Sonogen equipment converts radio energy into mechanical energy, causing the solvent...
All metal furniture and fittings are used in this mans study design by Le Corbusier, P. Jeanneret and Ch, Perriand of Paris. Metal is becoming extensively used in modern French furniture for the home, These metal piece are either white or lacquered...

Early research work on titanium metal is illustrated here by DuPont scientist. A thimble full of titanium crystals on an electrode was a peak test tube output. DuPont announced the world's first small scale commercial production in 1948. Since...
This shows titanium metal sponge, which has been ground, being poured into a furnace for melting and casting into an ingot. Most of the metal DuPont ships is in the form of sponge, like that above.
Simulating actual plant conditions in metal degreasing. This picture of DuPont's new Electrochemicals Sales Service Laboratory at Chestnut Run shown metal castings running through a bank of infrared lamps where dirt and lubricant are baked in to...
According to the note from Mr. Vinson (included after the catalog), this catalog showing the 1955 Ford Thunderbird without the metal spear was a reprint of a version that depicted the car with a metal spear accent. Those with the spear were...
