Domestic Supply of Strategic Metals

Abstract

DLA received a $5 million reprogramming from the Missile Defense Agency Congressional Add for domestic supply of strategic metals. This funding supports a continuation of a Small Business Innovation Program Ph-3 effort in establishing a domestic source of strategic metals, specifically titanium, by converting scrap metals into aerospace grade powders through proprietary technology of Unimelt Plasma Process. The funding is critical in expanding domestic industrial base to reach DOD goal of self-sufficiency in producing higher grade metals.
