Titanium Tablets, Titanium Powder, Titanium Sponge Solutions Titanium Tablets, Titanium Powder, Titanium Sponge Solutions Specialty Metallurgical Products (SMP) was started in 1984 by James H. Clark (Jim Clark Sr.), when he invisioned the need for a better, less costly grain refiner than the then standard master alloy. Originally the company was started to produce Master Alloy in Shot form, however that product never made it into the market place. Instead SMP was the first company to produce and offer a 100% titanium tablet to the aluminum alloy producers, free from binders and salts. Today, almost all aluminum smelters use 100% titanium tablets/pucks to make their titanium additions.
