US critical-minerals firm turning titanium ore into titanium metal powder and mill products using lower-cost, lower-carbon technology.
US critical-minerals firm turning titanium ore into titanium metal powder and mill products using lower-cost, lower-carbon technology.
Still scaling up: sales so far are small orders and qualification trials, and it funds the build-out from equity raises and US government support rather than product sales. It makes powder and finished parts at a site in Virginia, and owns the Titan mineral-sands project in Tennessee as a potential source of ore.
In one line: A US junior titanium producer using patented low-cost tech.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Patented HAMR/HSPT process claims lower cost and carbon than the standard Kroll titanium process.
Headquarters: Charlotte, North Carolina, US · Founded: 2019
