Titanium Mill Products,

Ingot, and Castings



DECEMBER 1981
ITA-991(811 12
Issued April 1982


This report contains figures for production, receipts, and net
shipments of titanium mill products and castings for January
through December 1981. Publication of the series was sus-
pended following the February 1981 report to permit a thorough
review of the reporting practices of all manufacturers participat-
ing in the survey. Figures for titanium ingot continue to be
withheld pending completion of the review or reports filed by
ingot producers.
The statistics in this report are based on a survey of all
known producers of titanium ingot, mill products, and castings.
Estimates are included for companies whose reports were not
received in time for tabulation. A complete description of the
survey methodology and related information may be found in
the 1980 annual summary report for this series, ITA-991 (80)-13,
issued April 1981.
