IperionX and Vegas Fastener to Co-Produce Titanium Fasteners for U.S. Army - Seite 2

Brandon N. Pender, Associate Director U.S. DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Materials Engineering said:

“We look at the combination of advanced manufacturing and titanium to help us improve both corrosion mitigation and light-weighting in Army ground vehicles. Any relationship that we can pursue to make titanium more affordable, as IperionX can potentially do, is valuable to us. The potential to produce titanium, 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.”
