Primary activities are devoted to:
1-Custom screening of titanium sponge fines.
2-Process developments to modify the morphology, size and density of the existing input material.
3-Development of pressed and sintered (PS) parts applications in anticipation of the availability of larger quantities of input material of the size and quality needed to sustain commercial parts production.
4-A new titanium-based alloy system has been developed. The TiCarbonite™ alloy system uses elemental titanium powder, special master alloy compositions with press and sinter manufacturing methods. TiCarbonite™ is basically as hard as ceramic, has more ductility than ceramic, lighter than titanium, with toughness and fracture resistance. Ballistics tests have demonstrated superior ability to defeat bullets. 6 US patents have been issued and filed in multiple countries worldwide.
5-Developent of our own proprietary process to produce titanium sponge granules from the raw materials, sodium and titanium tetrachloride
Equipment currently in operation includes:
1-Powder screening and sizing equipment
2-Hydraulic presses up to 200 tons.
3-Vacumm sintering furnace with temperature capability.
4-Lathe, mills, drill press and assorted grinding and finishing equipment.
5-Inert gas weld chamber.
6-Various sizes of round and square shaped dies to make sample parts.
