胜利选择Iperionx:旨在从废料中扩展钛金属粉的生产

Sustainable, low-cost titanium developerIperionX赢得了NSIN赞助的AFRL重新处理金属废料和废物粉的重新处理(大挑战)(AFRL Grand Challenge #4).

挑战包括在接下来的九个月内获得一份500,000美元合同的机会,该合同将在四个开发周期中授予,以建立将废品钛转换为适合添加剂制造的粉末的设备和流程。雷电竞充值Iperionx团队建议采用一种新的方法来浪费回收利用和脱氧钛粉使其可用。

“The AFRL team is excited to work with IperionX on the next phase of the titanium recyclability Grand Challenge. IperionX seemed to really understand the purpose of the Grand Challenge and pitched a unique strategy to deoxygenate and rejuvenate used titanium powders and scrap materials back into a powder suitable for additive manufacturing of aerospace-quality parts. We can’t wait to see the results of all the hard work yet to come,” said Dr. Calvin Mikler, Materials Engineer at AFRL.

Iperionx的工业投资组合

Last year, IperionX (IPX) had been admitted to the纳斯达克证券交易所。On June 21, 2022,Iperionx开始在纳斯达克交易在股票“ ipx”下,同时剩下的澳大利亚证券交易所(ASX). Taso Arima, CEO of the company, asserts that being listed in the US will offer it “increased liquidity” and introduce it to new retail and institutional investors in the long run.

“The Nasdaq listing comes at an important time in IperionX’s growth path, as we look to scale our patented titanium metal powder technologies in the US using 100% recycled titanium feedstock, and progress our rare earth and titanium critical mineral project in Tennessee with the completion of an economic scoping study,” added Arima.

此外,Panerai, a luxury watchmaker, had签署商业交易与iperionx。The companies collaborated to identify watch designs that could be manufactured utilizing IperionX’s reprocessed metal powders, with the initial products manufactured together, special edition watch cases, set to hit the market in 2023. Arima explained, “Our partnership represents a major milestone in the luxury goods sector. For IperionX, this demonstrates the potential in other consumer-facing sectors which are demanding fully recycled and sustainable, low carbon materials.”

Scaling additive manufacturing through recycling processes

Previously, engineers at Canada’s麦吉尔大学瑞尔森大学能够将环境危险的风力涡轮机垃圾转换为强大的新PLA 3D打印材料。该小组能够回收a now-defunct wind turbine blade into a fine fiber powder using a combination of mechanical grinding and pyrolysis. During overview testing, the leftovers of the blade not only demonstrated greater stiffness and strength than virgin fiberglass, but they also demonstrated the ability to produce robust fiber-reinforced 3D printed parts when combined with PLA.

别处,盔甲添加剂雷电竞充值制造子公司Kimya宣布扩大其计划再生灯丝范围到2024年涉及新型高性能材料。Kimyais aiming for 70 to 100% recycled materials in future high-performance filaments as a part of the third stage of ARMOR’s FIL’REC project, which is linked to the ORPLAST plastics recycling scheme. Nicolas Morand, KIMYA’s R&D, Innovation, and Industrialization Manager said, “Developing recycled high-performance materials poses a significant technical challenge for our teams, but it will enable us to provide the market with a unique offering, as there are no platters in the additive manufacturing market currently using recycled high-performance materials.”
