Sintx technologies awarded phase i contract from the missile defense agency for electrochemical machining

Salt lake city, dec. 21, 2022 (globe newswire) -- sintx technologies, inc. (www.sintx.com) (nasdaq: sint) (“sintx” or the “company”), an original equipment manufacturer of advanced ceramics, announced today that is has received a phase i contract for $150k from the u.s. missile defense agency (mda; https://www.mda.mil/) to enhance the performance of electrochemical machining (ecm) of critical components for aerospace. the project calls for sintx to develop and demonstrate the unique advantages of corrosion resistant, dielectric, insulating multilayer coatings that will ultimately enable unprecedented tool life and exceptional ecm machining performance. corrosion-resistant insulated coated tools made by ecm aim to lower costs and improve the quality of precision-machined aerospace, automotive, medical, computer, and consumer electronic components, thereby providing significant opportunities for market growth. ecm is an iterative process and is presently the most expensive element in advanced tool development. dielectric insulating coatings that extend tool life could therefore generate significant cost advantages.
