MIL-DTL-23195
MIL-DTL-23195 (Detail Specification: Titanium Sponge) is a U.S. military specification covering titanium sponge used as primary feedstock in the production of titanium ingot, billets, and wrought mill products for aerospace and defense applications. Titanium sponge is the initial solid form of titanium produced by the Kroll process reduction of titanium tetrachloride.
The chemical purity and physical properties of titanium sponge per MIL-DTL23195 determine the baseline composition of all downstream titanium mill products including AMS-grade aerospace titanium alloys used in aircraft structures, engine components, and defense hardware.
MIL-DTL23195 covers titanium sponge in Grade 1 (low impurity for critical aerospace alloys) and Grade 2 (commercial grade) quality levels. Maximum limits on iron, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and other impurities are defined. Sponge is tested by lot with chemical analysis and physical quality verification.
