GenX™ Continuous Production Validated
Four continuous production campaigns completed on the commercial-scale GenX™ system at the Virginia R&D facility, processing >500 kg of titanium powder over 41 hours at ~12 kg/hour.
-
Oxygen Specifications Met
All spherical powder samples met the Grade 23 oxygen limit (0.130% max), averaging 0.078%; 7 of 8 angular samples met Grade 5 (0.200% max), averaging 0.126%.

Major Efficiency Gains vs Batch HAMR™
Power consumption reduced >75%, magnesium use >45% lower, and hydrogen use >60% lower per kg of titanium powder; throughput six times batch volume on like-for-like run time.
-
Path to Industrial Scale
Q4 2026 work includes optimizing the current furnace, integrating it into a full powder production line, and advancing technoeconomic and engineering evaluation for the first industrial-scale GenX™ line.
Analysis · IPX · Energy & Transportation
A step change from the batch HAMR™ process has been demonstrated: continuous titanium production at commercial scale. The GenX™ system processed over 500 kg of titanium powder across four runs, with all spherical powder samples meeting the stringent Grade 23 oxygen specification. Measured results show power consumption down more than 75%, magnesium use down over 45%, and hydrogen use down over 60% per kilogram versus batch processing, while throughput increased sixfold on a like-for-like run time basis. These efficiency gains directly address the cost structure of titanium powder production, potentially lowering unit costs and enabling modular, capital-efficient expansion. The validation supports the company's pathway toward industrial-scale continuous production, with Q4 2026 focused on optimization and engineering for the first industrial line. This is a material technical milestone for a company whose thesis centers on proprietary low-cost titanium manufacturing.
