GIM Critical Minerals
Improving how metals perform in the systems that use them, so the same job can be done with less metal in it. GIM holds a granted patent in metals, with demonstrated performance improvement.
The problem
Demand is climbing and supply is contested
Critical minerals carry the world's electricity and hold up its structures. Supply is contested, few are easily substituted, and most of the response so far has gone into finding more of them. Improving what the existing material does is the other end of the same problem.
Applications
- Conductors and busbars
- Structural sections and enclosures
- Reduced material intensity per unit of performance
- Recycled and secondary metal streams
