IperionX

At IperionX, the R&D team at our Titanium Manufacturing Campus is constantly pushing boundaries to find lower cost and more sustainable approaches to produce our titanium metal products—building on and expanding the capabilities made possible through our proprietary technologies, including Green Rutile (TM), HAMR, and HSPT. #technology #ResearchAndDevelopment #innovation

The incumbent commercial production process for titanium was developed by William Kroll in the 1940's, using a method of reacting titanium chloride and magnesium under a vacuum to produce titanium sponge. However, the Kroll production method is an expensive, energy intensive and capital-intensive batch process that limited market penetration to only the most demanding of advanced applications. IperionX technologies, including the HAMR and HSPT processes, can provide a pathway to manufacture high-performance titanium products at lower cost, and also offer superior energy efficiency and dramatically reduced minimal environmental footprint compared to the Kroll process. Additionally, ongoing supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions have underscored the need for a reliable, domestic titanium supply chain. With ~75% of the world's primary titanium supply controlled by China and Russia, the need for an end-to-end titanium supply chain solution for the U.S. has never been more urgent. IperionX is at the forefront of solving this challenge, with a portfolio of patented technologies that can transform how titanium is sourced, refined manufactured, and forged entirely within the U.S.

Titanium's superior properties make it the optimal choice for a variety of advanced industries. From light weighting vehicles to providing corrosion resistance in industrial applications, titanium can enhance performance and extend product life cycles. IperionX offers a lower-cost, sustainable, end-to-end solution for U.S. industries, bringing titanium to a wider range of markets. Welcome to the Titanium Age. #TitaniumAge #titanium #innovation

IperionX is proud to release our 2024 Annual Report. IperionX leverages breakthrough titanium technologies to manufacture high-performance titanium products in the USA - at lower energy, cost, and carbon emissions. Our goal: +10,000mtpa of American high-performance titanium products by 2030 🔗 https://bit.ly/4eFSh3Y #Titanium #Reindustriaize #IPX #CleanTech

At IperionX, we understand the importance of high-quality, sustainable, and traceable titanium metal for U.S. industries. The IperionX Advanced Manufacturing Center is the home of our Quality Assurance Lab, where our titanium metal powders undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet the specifications required by our customers. Our quality team utilizes a range of equipment including a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) to check the quality of our titanium metal powders. SEM is a type of microscope that produces largely magnified images of our titanium powders by scanning the surface of a sample with focused beams of electrons. As the electrons interact with atoms in the sample, they produce signals that indicate the surface topography of the sample. This allows our quality team to check the morphology of the powder and ensure it meets specifications. EDS determines the high-level elemental composition of the powder by measuring the energy of X-rays emitted when the SEM electron beam scans the surface of a sample. This information is used to identify and quantify the elemental composition for each sample. Together, SEM with EDS can be used to better understand the material properties of our titanium metal powders for use in a variety of advanced applications.

Could titanium be having its "Bessemer Moment"? In 1854, Henry Bessemer's innovative steel making process enabled its production to increase rapidly, and brought steel into mainstream production. Steel had been around for over 3,000 years prior to Bessemer's breakthrough, but it was a niche product due to its high cost and complex production processes. Bessemer changed that, and his discovery enabled steel production to expand 87-fold in the U.S. As more steel factories opened, the price of steel fell, and this metal became much more widely used. Today, IperionX aims to create a "Bessemer Moment" for titanium by providing low-cost, low-carbon titanium metal to U.S. industries. Our breakthrough titanium technologies have been proven at our Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia, and are easily scalable to higher production volumes in the future. We have the potential to bring titanium to the mainstream, and compete with higher carbon metals including stainless steel.
