IperionX Titanium Fasteners Exceed Steel & Aerospace Benchmarks
IperionX Limited announced positive independent test results for its titanium fasteners from the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research. The tests demonstrated that IperionX titanium fasteners can deliver high-strength steel-benchmark mechanical performance, with yield torque nearly 20% above SAE Grade 8 steel and tensile strength approximately 15% above aerospace-grade titanium benchmarks. These results validate IperionX's patented manufacturing technologies and support the company's strategy to build an all-American titanium supply chain for critical defense, aerospace, and industrial sectors, offering significant weight reduction and corrosion resistance.
Key Highlights
- IperionX titanium fasteners validated by U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research.
- 3/4-10 titanium fasteners demonstrated 563-615 ft-lbf yield torque, nearly 20% above Grade 8 steel (480-502 ft-lbf).
- 3/8-16 titanium fasteners achieved average yield torque greater than high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners.
- Tensile testing confirmed 135-137 ksi yield strength and 149-152 ksi ultimate tensile strength.
- Tensile strength is ~15% above industry standard for aerospace-grade titanium fasteners (120-130 ksi yield, 130 ksi ultimate).
- Results support a fully domestic, secure U.S. titanium supply chain for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications.
- IperionX's patented HSPT™ and THRM™ technologies enable high-performance titanium components.
