Explore our main product portfolio featuring standard and customized titanium solutions engineered for extreme durability, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature integrity.
As industries shift toward lightweight, high-temperature, and corrosion-resistant solutions, the engineering demands placed on raw metals have surged. Among these high-performance materials, ultra-thin titanium sheets (often categorized as titanium foil for thicknesses below 0.1 mm) represent the peak of cold-rolling metallurgy. Titanium’s innate high strength-to-weight ratio, chemical passivity, and excellent biocompatibility make it irreplaceable. However, processing these alloys to thin foils requires profound knowledge of microstructural dynamics.
The manufacture of thin sheets demands precise phase-field controls. Titanium alloys exist in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) alpha phases, body-centered cubic (BCC) beta phases, or a mixture of both. During heavy cold deformation cycles down to sub-100-micron gauges, the HCP crystal system exhibits severe anisotropy and limited slip systems, making the material prone to cracking, edge tearing, and yield instability. To resolve this, ProX Metal implements continuous multi-pass rolling processes on advanced 20-high Sendzimir rolling mills, interspersed with specialized recrystallization annealing steps. Our state-of-the-art vacuum furnace systems maintain a clean atmosphere (under 10-5 Torr) to prevent gas diffusion and shield the titanium from picking up hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen, which would cause premature embrittlement.

The engineering landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by the global transition to green energy, micromobility, and deep-space exploration. The demand for ultra-thin titanium is projected to grow exponentially over the next decade. To meet this demand, ProX Metal has defined a technical development roadmap focused on three primary areas:
We are advancing our roll-gap thermal profile controls to cold-roll high-strength Grade 5 and Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) foils down to 25 micrometers. This thickness optimization minimizes weight in satellite solar array backings and drone frames while preserving mechanical performance.
By controlling recrystallization textures during vacuum annealing, we optimize the formability of Grade 1 and Grade 2 ultra-thin sheets. This enables stampers to produce clean, high-density flow channel configurations on PEM fuel cell bipolar plates without micro-cracking.
Working with premium surface finishers, we are launching pre-coated titanium coil systems. These feature anti-corrosion and electrically conductive coatings (such as carbon-based and noble metal coatings) applied directly to thin foils, cutting processing times and costs for battery developers.
Founded in 2001, ProX Metal is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the development, production, and servicing of pure and alloy titanium materials. As a leading manufacturer of raw titanium materials, we focus on providing cost-effective, stable, high-end titanium materials applied in chemical, oil and gas, marine, and electronics fields. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and hold 14 national patents.
Modern industrial plants require materials that resist corrosion, handle intense thermal cycling, and minimize structural weight. Ultra-thin titanium sheets provide optimized solutions for critical sectors:
In highly corrosive media like warm seawater, chlorine gas, and organic acids, Grade 2 and Grade 12 thin sheets form a stable protective oxide layer (TiO2). This layer resists pitting and crevice corrosion, protecting plate heat exchangers, distillation columns, and chemical storage tanks from premature leaks.
Offshore oil rigs and marine vessels rely on titanium components to handle harsh subsea pressures and high saline levels. Our thin-gauge titanium foils protect delicate subsea electronics, sensor housings, and downhole instrumentation systems, reducing maintenance costs over long operating cycles.
Aerospace manufacturers use Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) thin foils to build lightweight honeycomb structures. These structures provide high stiffness and thermal stability in fuselage panels, engine nacelles, and leading-edge wings, helping to lower fuel consumption in civil and commercial aviation.
ProX Metal operates a production network in China's titanium manufacturing hubs. Our facility is designed around Industry 4.0 manufacturing principles, incorporating automated processes, real-time quality tracking, and optimized raw-material routing. This configuration helps insulate global buyers from supply disruptions and price volatility.
Unlike factories that rely on third-party rerollers, ProX Metal maintains control across the manufacturing cycle. We select high-quality titanium sponge and melt it in double vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnaces. This process produces ingots with high chemical homogeneity, minimizing inclusions. Our integrated manufacturing chain enables us to trace every batch back to its raw sponge source, providing complete material traceability for aerospace and defense clients.
Additionally, our production lines feature non-destructive testing (NDT) capabilities. Inline ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ECT) check every foot of our titanium sheet and coil products for micro-cracks or voids. By integrating manufacturing and testing on-site, we reduce processing steps, lower waste rates, and offer competitive pricing to our global customers.
Global procurement teams must balance target properties, mechanical tolerances, and international standards when sourcing titanium. ProX Metal delivers products in compliance with major global material standards, supporting your engineering design requirements.
