TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

The Veloxint technology exploits Hall-Petch strengthening to boost alloy properties by controlling grain structure at the nanometer scale. The Veloxint team uses technology platform developed at MIT to develop proprietary alloy compositions and industrial processes to create thermodynamically stable nanocrystalline structures, thereby locking in the exceptional properties derived from grain-size strengthening. These alloys can be made into high performance components via both conventional and advanced powder metallurgy approaches, such as press and sinter, metal injection molding (MIM) and additive manufacturing. While the Veloxint technology is a platform technology that applies to many alloy systems, the company is currently focusing on two alloy systems. Veloxint Hard Metal (VHM) alloys are among the hardest metals in the world. Their superior strength, toughness and elevated temperature performance offer unparalleled performance, productivity and value for a broad range of cutting and wear applications. Veloxint Stainless (VS) alloys offer some of the highest strength to weight and stiffness to weight ratio among engineering metal alloys. VS alloys empower designers and engineers to create and produce exceptional components with up to 50% weight and footprint reduction for a broad range of end use applications..
