Hydrogen Assisted Metallothermic Reduction (“HAMR”) – a sustainable process for producing titanium powder, including for additive manufacturing
Category: Process/Prototyping
Developers: University of Utah
Co-Developers: IperionX
United States
Product Description:Titanium metal, prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, is a critical material in aerospace, defense, and medical applications, but high cost obstructs its wider use. The transformative HAMR process has the potential to dramatically reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions, and costushering in the Titanium Age.
