IperionX to produce titanium plate for U.S. Army testing

IperionX Limited (IPX) has executed a Test Services Agreement and Statement of Work with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center DEVCOM GVSC . This agreement will focus on the metal characterization and ballistic testing properties of IperionX’s high-strength titanium plate components. DEVCOM GVSC may relay the results to select U.S. DoD contractors who are original equipment manufacturers of U.S. Army ground vehicles for consideration in future ground vehicle designs. Known U.S. Army ground vehicle contractor OEMs include: General Dynamics Land Systems, an arm of General Dynamics (GD), BAE Systems he U.S. subsidiary of BAE Systems (BAESY) American Rheinmetall Defense, Oshkosh (OSK) ..The titanium plate for U.S Army ballistic testing will be manufactured using powder metallurgy production methods with IperionX’s advanced titanium angular powder. To deliver higher performance and durability, IperionX will also employ its patented Hydrogen Sintering and Phase Transformation technologies, a cutting-edge technique to enhance the microstructure of titanium to deliver strength and fatigue properties that are comparable to wrought titanium alloys.
