Strategic Inventory
Indicate titanium your organization maintains in strategic inventory, and the amounts of each in inventory for the 2015 to 2018 period. Report all amounts in kilograms. If your organization has more than one alloy of a given product in inventory, list each alloy separately. (e.g., if your organization has Titanium Billet with Alloys A and B, provide two entries for Titanium Billet with 'A' in the Alloy column for the first entry and 'B' in the Alloy column for the second). For this question, strategic inventory is defined as material kept by your organization as a reserve or hedge against supply disruption, market conditions, etc.
