Plattsburgh, New York - January 8, 2025 - Norsk Titanium today announces that
the material properties of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) produced using its Rapid
Plasma Deposition® (RPD®) technology have been officially accepted for
publication in the Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization
(MMPDS) Handbook.

"This is a major achievement for the adoption of additive manufacturing at scale
and an important milestone for Norsk Titanium," says Fabrizio Ponte, CEO of
Norsk Titanium. "MMPDS is the go-to handbook for engineers in the aerospace
industry, and the inclusion confirms that our RPD® technology meets the most
rigorous technical, safety, and performance requirements."

The MMPDS Handbook is the primary reference source for statistically validated
material properties used across commercial and military aerospace programs
worldwide. It is developed through collaboration between government, industry,
and academic experts, and is recognized by certification authorities including
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD),
and NASA.

Norsk Titanium is a global leader in additive manufacturing for aerospace-grade
structural titanium alloy components using its patented RPD® technology, and the
accepted material data constitutes the world's first publication of any
additively manufactured material properties to be included in the MMPDS
Handbook: Volume II Process Intensive Materials and Joining Technologies.

Norsk Titanium's inclusion in MMPDS builds upon its earlier milestone as the
first to publish SAE Aerospace Material Specifications for wire-arc produced
titanium. By adding RPD® material data to MMPDS, engineers and OEMs gain access
to regulator-recognized properties for certifiable aerospace and defense
designs, reducing the need for repeated qualification and accelerating adoption.
This achievement supports current and future applications across commercial
aerospace, defense, space, and other regulated industrial markets, paving the
way for broader use of additive manufacturing technologies.
