Operations
Products and/or services of IperionX
- Recycled Titanium Metal Powders: Commercial production of high-purity, spherical titanium metal powders manufactured from 100% recycled titanium scrap using patented low-carbon processing techniques at pilot and commercial manufacturing facilities in Utah and Virginia for additive manufacturing applications.
- Titanium Alloys Manufacturing: Production of high-strength, corrosion-resistant titanium alloy components and powders for advanced applications in aerospace, defense, space, medical devices, consumer electronics, and automotive industries using cost-effective powder metallurgy and consolidation methods.
- Heavy Mineral Sands Mining: Extraction and development of a major mineral sands deposit in Tennessee containing high-grade titanium minerals, zircon, and monazite rare earth minerals to provide a secure domestic feedstock for downstream processing operations.
- Hydrogen Assisted Reduction Processing: Application of patented thermochemical extraction technology designed to deoxidize titanium scrap and dioxide feedstocks using hydrogen reduction at significantly reduced temperatures, lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions compared to conventional processes.
- Hydrogen Sintering and Phase Transformation: Utilization of advanced powder consolidation technology that processes titanium powders into high-density, fully consolidated titanium parts with mechanical properties matching wrought material standards without requiring melting or complex forging steps.
- Synthetic Rutile Production: Development of low-carbon chemical processing technology to convert low-grade ilmenite feedstocks into high-purity synthetic rutile, creating a direct substitute for natural rutile minerals in titanium metal and pigment manufacturing.
