Titomic and Northrop Grumman Partner to Revolutionize Pressure Vessel Manufacturing!

Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a global leader in Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) cold spray additive manufacturing, has entered into a collaboration with Northrop Grumman to advance the development and production of high-performance pressure vessels. This partnership marks a critical shift in Titomic’s strategic focus, as it solidifies its commitment to the aerospace and defense sectors, bringing forward innovative, mission-critical components.

This collaboration combines Titomic’s expertise in cold spray technology with Northrop Grumman’s aerospace and defense leadership, aiming to enhance the strength, durability, and performance of pressure vessels used in critical applications. The focus is on developing high-performance pressure vessels that not only meet demanding industry standards but also significantly reduce production timelines. The collaboration includes a concept development study, where parts will be produced for testing and validation for future large-scale manufacturing efforts.

Titomic’s TKF cold spray technology eliminates the need for traditional high-heat methods, enabling superior material properties and enabling the creation of complex geometries. This results in higher strength, reduced lead times, and optimized designs, making it ideal for industries like aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial applications where pressure vessels are vital components.

Titomic’s partnership with Northrop Grumman signals a significant leap forward in the manufacturing of critical aerospace and defense components, addressing the global supply chain challenges while tapping into the multi-billion-dollar pressure vessel market. The collaboration positions Titomic to meet the growing demands of these sectors with advanced localized production capabilities in the United States, enabling both companies to enhance their competitive edge.

Jim Simpson, CEO of Titomic, expressed his excitement about the partnership: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Northrop Grumman to develop advanced pressure vessels using our unique Titomic Kinetic Fusion technology. This collaboration represents a significant step in overcoming the supply chain challenges for manufacturing critical components for the defense industry.”

Neil Matthews AM, Senior Technical Fellow at Titomic, emphasized the potential of cold spray technology in overcoming traditional manufacturing limitations: “This collaboration with Northrop Grumman showcases the potential of cold spray technology to overcome traditional manufacturing limitations. By enabling the production of high-strength components with reduced material waste and shorter lead times, we are setting a new benchmark for aerospace and defense manufacturing.”

This partnership is just the beginning. Titomic and Northrop Grumman are poised to redefine pressure vessel manufacturing by ushering in a new era of durability, efficiency, and innovation that meets the demands of modern industries. Through this collaboration, Titomic continues to expand its reach, diversify applications, and pave the way for next-generation manufacturing solutions across multiple industries.
