The world's most advanced materials, Made in America
From Sand to Final Application
American Advanced Materials produces advanced materials from titanium, hafnium, and zirconium. We use the proven Kroll Process as the common core of our operations.
The journey of these materials starts in humble beach sands and ends in a final high-performance application. We focus on the critical middle step in this journey.
Heavy Mineral Concentration
Miners concentrate heavy mineral ores from beach sands and separate them into their constituent parts. Ilmenite, zircon, and rutile are the most notable.
Heavy mineral sands are common deposits. America mines these beach sands in the Atlantic seaboard and the Southeastern USA today.
