IperionX to Produce Titanium Plate for U.S. Army Testing
This agreement will focus on the metal characterization and ballistic testing properties of IperionX’s high-strength titanium plate components.
- This agreement will focus on the metal characterization and ballistic testing properties of IperionX’s high-strength titanium plate components.
- The United States has very limited domestic primary titanium metal (titanium sponge) capacity and currently imports over 95% of the titanium sponge required for the U.S. defense sector.
- IperionX plans to re-shore a fully integrated titanium supply chain to the U.S., reduce the acute reliance on titanium imports from foreign nations, and strengthen the domestic titanium supply chain for critical defence systems.
- The potential to produce titanium plate, with all of its capabilities, that is cost-competitive with aluminium and steel only helps us improve the operational performance and readiness of Army ground systems.”
“We are honored to collaborate with DEVCOM GVSC to evaluate our titanium products for U.S. Army ground vehicles.
