The specialty metals are very significant in applications where unique properties of strength and durability, combined with corrosion resistance, performance, and other characteristics, are needed. Advanced manufacturing material companies often require reliable recycling and sourcing options. One example of such valuable industrial material that can be recovered from manufacturing process is tantalum scrap. Globe Metal is involved in tantalum materials and implements recycling programmes which enable the return of valuable metals to use.

Rare earth materials also play a crucial role in modern industrial applications. Yttrium metal is a rare earth metal which is one of the materials processed by Globe Metal. Good management of these materials can enable resource recovery and enable manufacturers to have more organized material streams. Globe Metal is involved in the recycling of a wide spectrum of rare earth metals in its specialty metal recycling operations.

If the manufacturer needs the controlled input materials, an ‘niobium ingot‘ may be used as an important starting material to proceed further in processing and fabrication. Niobium is employed in such diverse fields as superconducting technology and superalloys. Globe Metal provides niobium commodity products, and also processes niobium-containing materials produced in industrial production.

Titanium is also critical in the production of items for extreme manufacturing applications due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The reduced form of titanium having the highest titanium content is titanium sponge, which is used as a raw material for titanium melting and alloy production. Globe Metal offers titanium in various forms such as sponge, scrap and powder to facilitate raw materials supply as per production needs
