Cell Impact begins performance testing of nanocrystalline titanium

Cell Impact AB has commenced a series of tests to evaluate the formability of nanocrystalline titanium. The tests are being conducted using the company’s proprietary high-velocity forming technology at the request of several undisclosed clients.

The material, produced in Japan, is currently utilized in existing series-production applications. However, the objective of this initiative is to determine how the metal performs when subjected to Cell Impact’s specific high-velocity processing methods, which differ from conventional industrial stamping.

Nanocrystalline metals often exhibit superior strength properties compared to traditional alloys, though these characteristics can introduce complexities in manufacturing. By conducting these trials, the company aims to establish the viability of incorporating this material into its production workflows.

The company has provided no further details regarding the identity of the clients or the projected timeline for the test results. The evaluation marks an effort to expand the material versatility of the Cell Impact Forming technology.
