TiDA (Titanium Industry Development Association) was formed to help New Zealand companies develop ground-breaking titanium products for the international marketplace using powder metallurgy consolidation methods.
Our titanium alloy powder applications industry is in its infancy but could rapidly grow into a billion dollar export market given the right support and encouragement.
Demand for titanium products continues to soar as consumers worldwide want the most advanced laptops, mobile phones, cameras, sports gear and other gadgets available.
Titanium has the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal; is lightweight; corrosion resistant; and is the fourth most abundant metal in the earth’s crust.
In fact it’s perfect for producing a wide range of complex parts and products – which is why industries as diverse as aerospace, medical, and automotive currently use titanium where no other metal is as reliable or economical.
The possibilities are endless.
TiDA now has access to ground-breaking technology and resources, along with the most up-to-date scientific data to help New Zealand companies take advantage of the vast opportunities titanium has to offer.
