DARPA Funds International Titanium Powder Project
International Titanium Powder (ITP) LLC (Lockport, Ill.), a research and
development firm specializing in the reduction of metals, received $1.2
million from The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to modify
its Armstrong process to produce low oxygen content alloy suitable for
high-performance, blast-resistant Navy applications. The Armstrong process,
developed by ITP, reduces titanium to a powder metal form. DARPA wants to
rapidly advance the process to directly produce complex titanium alloys and
grades with low levels of oxygen content.
