America has lost its processing capability

America does not lack raw materials. It lacks the plants and operating knowledge to turn them into critical metals

THE DURANIUM MODEL

Integration is how we compete on cost and scale

Duranium is bringing five distinct metal production systems into one industrial campus. Related chemistry, shared infrastructure, connected material flows, and operating knowledge lower costs and make greater scale possible.

One metal feeds the next

Magnesium produced inside the campus is used to make titanium, zirconium, and hafnium and to alloy aluminum. Titanium alone requires roughly a gram of magnesium for every gram of metal produced.
