Kobe Steel, Ltd. inaugurated a new 3.5-billion-yen titanium melt shop at its Takasago Works in western Japan. The melt shop will go into full production next month.
The melt shop uses the company's Kobe Method (a vacuum arc remelting method), which makes possible the use of titanium scrap. The melt shop is located adjacent to the current melt shop to stabilize production and improve the operational efficiency of both shops. Kobe Steel aims to steadily grow its business to effectively respond to the expanding demand for titanium mill products.
