About 7-10 years ago, they put an aluminum rod through extremely high temperature plasma torches, and produced extremely precise balls of titanium. Titanium is used on top of stainless steel for artificial hips and knees as bone doesn’t easily latch onto stainless steel. They’ve now built their first machine and are going into commercial production. There is also a potential shift to using titanium in 3-D printing. The company is still waiting for some contracts.
