IperionX Titanium Fasteners Exceed Grade 8 Steel Performance
Key points
- Independent validation by U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC and WMTR
- Titanium fasteners demonstrate yield torque above Grade 8 steel
- Lighter, stronger titanium fasteners with repeatability
Full summary
IperionX Limited announced that independent testing by the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research (WMTR) has demonstrated that IperionX titanium fasteners outperform high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners. The titanium fasteners achieved yield torque of 563 to 615 ft-lbf, nearly 20% above the Grade 8 steel benchmark. Additionally, the fasteners achieved yield strength and ultimate tensile strength above aerospace-grade titanium benchmarks, confirming their high-strength performance. These results highlight IperionX's progress in building a secure, domestic titanium supply chain for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications.
