Products classified under HTS 8108.20.00.10
Titanium Sponge Grade 0
High-purity titanium sponge Grade 0, produced via the Kroll process, contains at least 99.7% titanium with minimal impurities. Classified under HTS 8108.20.0010 as unwrought titanium in sponge form, used as the primary raw material for titanium ingot production in aerospace and medical industries.
Medical-Grade Titanium Sponge
Ultra-pure titanium sponge for implant manufacturing, compliant with ISO 5832-2 standards featuring low cytotoxic elements. HTS 8108.20.0010 covers this unwrought sponge form used to produce biocompatible titanium alloys for prosthetics and surgical devices.
Kroll Process Titanium Sponge
Standard titanium sponge produced by the magnesium reduction Kroll process, typically Grade 1-2 purity. Specifically provided for in HTS 8108.20.0010 as unwrought titanium sponge, serving as feedstock for melting and alloying operations.
Ti-6Al-4V Pre-Alloyed Sponge
Blended titanium sponge pre-alloyed with 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium for direct forging applications. Still classified under HTS 8108.20.0010 as unwrought titanium sponge since titanium exceeds 99% of metal content per Chapter notes.
Reactor-Grade Titanium Sponge
High-purity sponge for nuclear reactor components, featuring ultra-low hydrogen and carbon levels. HTS 8108.20.0010 applies to this unwrought titanium sponge used in zirconium alloy cladding production.
Aerospace-Grade Titanium Sponge
Premium titanium sponge meeting AMS 4921 specifications for aircraft applications, featuring low oxygen and iron content. Falls under HTS 8108.20.0010 as unwrought titanium sponge, the starting material for high-strength titanium alloys in jet engines and airframes.
