Combining Durability with Sleekness: Superior Titanium Releases New Top Quality Nitrate Finish Money Clip

The company that is best known for its sleek, top-of-the-line titanium

Superior Titanium Nitride Money Clip

money clips has just released its newest variety.

Superior Titanium's newest money clip combines its trademark flexibility and springiness, with a quality titanium nitrate finish (very attractive gold color). Made with 100% Solid American Titanium, this newest money clip by Superior Titanium - Sleek, Durable Titanium Money Clips is not just titanium nitride coated but is also fabricated from solid titanium. The solid titanium construction provides the long life and functionality. The titanium nitride coating that is applied next gives the newest money clip its good looks and a finish that will stand up to abuse.

The Superior Titanium company started with 100% American titanium and fabricated a money clip to meet the needs of those people who want quality product that is not only made in North America but is also designed to last a lifetime and beyond. With its variety of money clips that are sleek, flexible, and springier than those made of other materials, Superior Titanium makes sure that your wad of bills is held securely.

"Our money clips are simple and practical, yet very fashionable. They help you store cash and credit cards in a convenient way, and are highly recommended for those who want to keep their cash and/or credit cards all the time without carrying around their cumbersome wallets," Dan Hirschorn of Superior Titanium Nitride Money Clips explained.

Titanium is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant metal that is as strong as steel, but 45 percent lighter. It has a low magnetic signature and is not picked up by most metal detectors. Titanium does not become magnetized and has an extremely high melting point of 1800 degrees Celsius. It can be mixed with other elements to produce extra strong and lightweight alloys for use in jet engines, missiles, spacecraft, orthopedic implants and high quality jewelry among others. It was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor in England and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth after the Titans of Greek mythology.

The most common use for a titanium nitride (TiN) coating is for edge retention and corrosion resistance on machine tooling, such as drill bits and milling cutters, often improving their lifetime by a factor of three or more. Of course, most of these tools, unlike our solid titanium money clips, are just coated with titanium nitride and then use lower cost steel under the coating. For functionality, and to make this unbreakable Superior Titanium used pure titanium construction throughout.

"What is great about our titanium money clips is that you can show them off to your friends, while at the same time, support North America's quality manufacturing industry," Hirschorn enthused.

The strength and elasticity (or springiness) of titanium make it the perfect material for a money clip. Moreover, Superior Titanium Quality Titanium Nitride Money Clips can also be used to carry business cards, helping create a great impression when pulled out of a suit pocket.

"Another reason why our clients like traveling for work or vacation with our money clips is that they can put it in their front (pants) pocket, so it is much more concealed than a bulky wallet. It makes them feel a lot more comfortable knowing that people cannot easily see where they are carrying their money and credit cards," Hirschorn said.

Offering a host of other products made of titanium as well, Superior Titanium encourages its visitors and clients to fill out the feedback form on the website with their best idea for a titanium product or an improvement to one of its existing products.

"Our goal is to provide high quality products and we always listen to suggestions and feedbacks and use these in our effort to continuously improve the selection and quality of our products and services," says Dan Hirschorn.

BK builds on high-quality service

BK Engineering in Heath and Reach, Leighton Buzzard, aims to offer its customers a complete service for high-quality sheet metal fabrications with a speedy turnaround. The company has now invested in an LVD laser system with automated loading / unloading to further develop its service offering.

BK was bought by its present owners in an MBO two years ago and, as manufacturing director Don Cook explains, since the then the directors have taken a close look at the focus of the company.

“We really looked at what our core market should be, so we try as far as we can to concentrate on customers within a 50-mile radius. This covers a lot of companies and when we look further afield delivery costs makes us less competitive,” he says.

The company believes that there is still a strong niche market for the small to medium batch work that it offers, especially at the high quality end and where a fast turnaround and on-time delivery are critical.

“Quality is important, price is important, but on-time delivery is the key as most people work to such tight deadlines on delivery, and they get passed down to us,” says Don.

In the past, customers would keep stocks of items and give you four to six weeks lead time; now a lot of them are operating JIT and ship-to-line and so delivery is paramount and there is no leeway to be late.

“We felt that, with our costs rising, and the constant pressure from customers to reduce costs, the only way to remain profitable was to invest in capital equipment,” says Don Cook. “We saw the laser, particularly with the ability to run lights out, as a way to increase output without the need to take on more labour or invest in additional tooling.”

He says that the Orion laser is very flexible in terms of the work it can produce and makes small batch working more cost-effective – both by reducing the amount of downtime for setup and by nesting parts onto the sheet for maximum material utilisation.

The thickest material BK needs to cut is 10mm mild steel. The 4kW Orion can cut up to 20mm thick steel and on the 10mm material is very quick and cost-effective.

One of the big changes at BK since the buyout is that it tries to provide a complete service, from design to painted fabricated part.

“Often, customers will come to us knowing what they want to achieve, but not how to do it. We give them the skills they don’t have, coming up with ideas, developing products and re-engineering parts to save them money. And as well as the sheet metal work, which is our core business, we also have CNC milling and turning machines and an in-house painting facility. If a company wants a fabrication that incorporates machined parts we can do the whole job for them in house. So we are not reliant on someone else’s quality or delivery,” says Mr Cook.

He adds: “You have to differentiate between price and cost. Someone else may be 10% cheaper, but when you factor in on-time quick delivery, minimal defects, help with developing products and help with engineering cost out of the product – the true cost of our service will be better for them in the long term. For a company like us flexibility is absolutely paramount, and the LVD Orion adds to that flexibility.”
