Meet the EURO-TITAN Advisory Board 🤝

From recovered titanium to industrial application, the EURO-TITAN Advisory Board helps connect project research with the requirements of the wider titanium value chain. Their expertise brings important downstream perspectives on the quality and performance requirements that recovered titanium must meet for future use in alloys, powders and finished components. We are pleased to introduce the experts who provide independent strategic and technical input throughout the project, helping to ensure that EURO-TITAN remains scientifically robust, industrially relevant and aligned with European ambitions for sustainability, circularity and resource efficiency.

Our Advisory Board

TEI Alloys produces titanium alloys and other advanced metals for sectors with demanding material requirements, including aerospace and medical applications. Its capabilities span melting, forging, heat treatment, machining and material testing. For EuroTITAN, that experience helps frame a critical question: what quality, composition and consistency would recovered titanium need before it could serve as an input for alloy production?

EPMA, the European Powder Metallurgy Association, represents companies and researchers across the powder metallurgy supply chain. Its work covers fields including additive manufacturing and metal injection moulding, while its industry network connects material suppliers with manufacturers and end users. EPMA helps EuroTITAN look beyond producing a powder to understanding where it could fit, what different applications require and which routes to industrial uptake are worth exploring.

Element 22 manufactures titanium parts using powder metallurgy techniques, including metal injection moulding and 3D printing. It works with the practical choices behind a finished component: the feedstock, forming process, material properties, part complexity and production volume. This gives EuroTITAN a view of the requirements that recovered titanium would have to meet to move from a promising material to a usable manufacturing input.

A valuable Perspective

Throughout the project, the Advisory Board contributes by:
– 🔬 Reviewing technical progress and providing an independent external perspective
– 💡 Providing strategic and technical recommendations
– 🏭 Assessing industrial relevance and application potential
– 🔗 Connecting the project with wider scientific and industrial networks
– ⚙️ Helping identify technical risks, challenges and opportunities
– ♻️ Supporting the project in considering sustainability, circularity and future industrial implementation

Together, TEI Alloys, EPMA and Element 22 help EURO-TITAN connect titanium recovery with the requirements of downstream industry: from alloy production and powder processing to component manufacturing.
Their input helps the consortium assess not only whether titanium can be recovered, but also what the recovered material must become to create value further along the titanium supply chain.
