IperionX fast-tracks titanium powder capacity expansion to mid-2025, driven by HAMR tech upgrades and aerospace interest. Focus Keyphrase: IperionX titanium powder expansion
IperionX titanium powder expansion is now expected to occur earlier than planned, with output capacity set to rise by mid-2025. The US-based company has accelerated its guidance due to improvements in its modular HAMR furnace process.
In January, IperionX projected increased output later in 2025. However, operational efficiency and technology upgrades have moved the timeline forward. Though the firm didn’t disclose exact numbers, capacity will rise above the current 125 metric tonnes per year.
Downstream Manufacturing Systems and Aerospace Demand Fuel Growth
The company also launched its first-phase downstream manufacturing systems in Q1, enabling production of semi-finished and near-net-shape parts. It validated its hydrogen sintering and phase transformation (HSPT) process and installed a cold-isostatic press for titanium tubes and rods.
IperionX is collaborating with eight partners on pilot production and qualification programs. Customer interest expanded to aerospace firms, indicating strong market potential for its advanced titanium materials.
Focus on Efficiency and Scrap Reduction in Titanium Products
Initial production will prioritize titanium parts with traditionally high scrap rates and low material yield. Target applications include fasteners, luxury electronics housings, and premium enclosures, areas with high value-added demand.
The company plans to announce its full growth strategy by mid-2025, aligned with its IperionX titanium powder expansion roadmap. This includes optimization across product types, refining capabilities, and scaling supply for strategic sectors.
