Titanova, Inc. is pleased to announce that on January 22, 2010 we were granted new issuance of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Certificate of Authorization and Code Symbol Stamps of S, U, and the National Board (NB) R symbol stamp.
Titanova, Inc. was awarded the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) authorization to make repairs and / or alterations utilizing the R stamp for the assemble of boiler tubes and laser weld overlay of boiler tubes.
Titanova, Inc. was awarded the S and U stamp certificates of authorization from ASME for the production of laser welding and laser weld overlay on boiler tubes to be in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPV).
These stamps indicate that a product and our quality system conforms to the latest edition of the ASME BPV Code which is considered the industry hallmark of acceptance and certification. It is recognized in more than 100 nations as a means of meeting government safety regulations, and complies with all safety laws and regulations in the United States and Canada.
ASME Code Symbol Stamps are regarded as the hallmark of acceptance and certification, and are used to indicate that the stamped item(s) conform to the latest edition of the ASME BPV Codes.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 20th, 2010
Titanova, Inc [Bridgeton, MO] has joined The Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies (CAMT) as a Full Member. CAMT was established in May 2004 by the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) in partnership with Boeing Phantom Works in St. Louis, Missouri and the Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio. It serves as a center of excellence in the U.S. for the development and transition of innovative advanced technologies for the aerospace manufacturing supply chain.
Titanova, Inc has become a member of CAMT to enable the dual use of laser cladding technologies in the areas of energy production and aerospace manufacturing. Specifically in the areas of laser cladding for advanced ultrasupercritical coal boilers, nuclear power plants, and advanced laser deposition of aerospace materials. CAMT has an array of technologies devoted to advancing manufacturing fabrication and assembly. Over thirty-five faculty members and more than sixty research staff and students from several academic disciplines perform multi-disciplinary research. Our R&D creates knowledge, methodologies, and tools that reduce costs and time to market of products, as well as improve quality, productivity, reliability, and safety in aerospace manufacturing.
There are unique synergies between Titanova's technologies and CAMT research that can benefit all members of this consortium and US industry as a whole.

Titanova Awarded Phase II DOE SBIR
Titanova Inc. has been awarded a Phase II SBIR through the Department of Energy in response to solicitation FY 2009 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II Program Notice, which closed on April 17, 2009. Phase II Application No. 85782S08-II, “Novel Diode Laser Cladding of High Temperature Alloys for Used in Ultrasupercritical Coal-Fired Boilers”. This project is a continuation of the Phase I program to develop direct diode laser systems and processes for purpose of cladding high temperature materials for ultrasupercritical coal-fired boilers. This development will result in improved clad material properties, which will result in an increase in boiler efficiencies, and thus reduction of emissions, while simultaneously reducing the construction and sustainment cost for coal-fired boilers. This award was one out of 168 SBIR and STTR awards out of 298 grant applications.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 20, 2009
Titanova, Inc is pleased to announce a new team member, Jason Fremon. Mr. Fremon’s title is Laser Applications and Sales Engineer.
Mr. Fremon brings 8 years of unique experience in the area of laser diode processing. Previously Mr. Fremon was a senior laser application technician at Nuvonxy / Coherent Inc.
