  1. Specialty Metal In Perspective Tim Malishenko July 26, 2007 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

  2. History of the “Berry Amendment” and the Domestic Specialty Metals Clause 1997 Specialty Metals Applied to Commercial Items! Major impact to Defense supply chain Specialty Metals Federal Procurements DOD Clothing & food Additional Clothing & food “Black beret scandal” BA codified as law in 10 U.S.C. 2133a Buy American Act Defense Appropriations Act Berry Amendment Defense Appropriations Act National Defense Authorization Act 1933 1941 1953 1973 2002

  3. Steel Tube Manufacturing Process Melting Source Bars Hollows Smelter Domestic Mill Domestic Tube Bender/Mfg Factory Distributor Supply Chain is Long and Complex – Which Pot was Use to Melt?

  4. The Titanium Supply Chain is ComplexPrimary Materials Titanium Production Chlorine Coke Rutile Magnesium TiCl4 MgCl2 Titanium sponge Scrap Alloy Legislation protects the Melting Melting EB melt • Remelt electrodes VAR ingots Forging Cast slab Forged slab Billet Rolling Plate Strip/sheet Bar/Rod Wire Distribution End uses

  5. China Germany India Russia China Ukraine Japan Russia USA South Africa USA Australia Japan Kazakhstan Access to the Global Marketplace is Needed Sponge Production *Mining Ilmenite & Rutile Ingot Melting * For aerospace titanium supply chain only, multiple other mines exist world wide to support the paint pigment industry Titanium Ingot Supply Chain US Melt Capacity, far exceeds Defense Dept Needs Legislation Eliminates Melt Competition But Sponge is the Critical Piece!

  6. Defense Does Not Drive the Market

  7. Commercial/USAF Recent Production Aircraft Model # In Service AF # AF In Service Designator 757-200/300 1041 4 / .4% C-32 737-700 775 7 / .9% C-40B&C 737-200 753 8 / 1.0% T-43A 747-200 3016 / 2.0% VC-25A E-4B Total 2870 25 / .9% Commercial Derivative Aircraft for DoD is 1-2%!

  8. Summary • Specialty Metal Legislation creates a US Melt Cartel, that restricts Competition • Defense Production Act can give DoD priority if needed • Defense Specialty Metal Requirements do not Drive the Market
