Efficient use of titanium provides new opportunities

Norsk Titanium Components (NTiC) specializes in the production of high quality, complex titanium components. We have developed and industrialized new production technologies that significantly have improved the processes and reduced cost throughout the value chain; from production of the raw material, titanium sponge, to manufactured parts and components in titanium.

The production output consists of near-net-shape titanium components, where the need for machining to desired shape is significantly reduced. To achieve this, the company uses Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) technology to build the finished component. With traditional methods, casted or forged titanium blocks are machined until finished component. NTi Component’s method provides substantially lower material wastage, greater production flexibility, reduced costs and greater environmental benefits than with conventional casting and forging technologies.

NTi Components has estblished a technology and manufacturing facility in the Oslo region and production and delivery of near-net-shape components to clients are well under way. By end of January 2012, the company will inaugurate its new full-scale production line, increasing the production capacity considerably.

NTi Components was ISO-certified in October 2009, confirming the company has deployed an ISO 9001 certified management system. It is crucial for the company's futher development that the production processes and finished products and parts are certified for various industries and customer groups. The ISO 9001 certification is the first step towards becoming an approved supplier for major customers. NTiC has also received NORSOK qualification for certain components.
