By 1951, Crane's researchers had improved this process to a point where Holloway was willing to gamble $2,000,000 on a pilot plant in Chicago. The plant worked so well that DMPA says...
Totting up the balance sheets on titanium, Holloway thinks the wonder metal's future is just beginning. He thinks that titanium now is about where aluminum was when it was selling for $28 a Ib. Titanium now costs $20 a Ib. in sheetmetal form, 50 times as much as aluminum. But Holloway says: "In a few years we should be able to cut that price in half," and eventually get it down to where it could have a wide civilian use. Holloway himself already has begun to use it in small key parts of valves, soon will be making...
