Production & Quality
Norsk Titanium is built for qualified production. With 650 metric tons of installed RPD® capacity across three facilities, aerospace-grade quality systems, and ITAR-registered defense production in the United States, we help customers move structural titanium applications from part evaluation to recurring supply.
On-demand capacity already in place.
Norsk Titanium operates 35 RPD® machines across three facilities in the U.S. and Norway, supporting part development, qualification, and serial production for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers.
Plattsburgh Production Center (PPC)
Industrial-scale production in New York with fully redundant systems for high operating uptime.
Annual capacity: 400 MT/year
Plattsburgh Defense & Qualification Center (PDQC)
ITAR-registered defense production and qualification capability in the USA. CMMC compliant.
Annual capacity: 200 MT/year
Eggemoen Technology Center (ETC)
Research and development, process advancement, and a full-scale metallurgy laboratory in Norway.
Annual capacity: 50 MT/year
Repeatability is engineered into the process.
For critical structural parts, repeatability is not optional. RPD® runs as a highly-controlled process built around locked production parameters, defined machine configuration, published material data, in-process monitoring, and routine calibration.
The goal is simple: produce structural titanium preforms consistently across qualified machines, programs, and production sites.
The standards that let customers order qualified RPD® parts
Two SAE industrial specifications enable customers to order RPD® parts directly from Norsk Titanium. Together with Nadcap accreditation and MMPDS-listed design allowables, they provide customers a complete, industry-recognized basis to specify, design, order, and manufacture with RPD®.
SAE-AMS 7004
Titanium Alloy Preforms from Plasma Arc DED, Ti-6Al-4V, Stress Relieved.
SAE-AMS 7005
Wire-Fed Plasma Arc DED Additive Manufacturing Process.
Nadcap
National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program.
MMPDS
Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization.
Ideation to qualified part production in about six months (within the RPD® sweet spot).
01 Value Alignment (0–2 weeks)
Identify candidate parts or families where lead time, cost, waste, or supply risk create an RPD® opportunity.
02 Identify & Assess Candidate Parts (2–6 weeks)
Assess geometry, material, performance needs, inspection route, and overall RPD® fit.
03 Commercial Engagement (6–10 weeks)
Quantify cost, buy-to-fly, machining, lead-time, and supply-chain benefits.
04 Qualification & Industrialization (10–16 weeks)
Define testing, documentation, first article, approvals, and production-readiness pathway.
05 Production & Scale (16–24 weeks)
Validate the part, launch supply, and ramp repeatable production within the RPD® sweet spot.
Ready to put RPD® to work in your supply chain?
Whether you are evaluating a new titanium structure, looking for an alternative to forging, or working to improve production resilience, Norsk Titanium can help determine where RPD® fits, and can move a strong-fit part from candidate to qualified production in about six months.
