March 18 DMI/CMH/OEP Seminar - Joe Croteau
Abstract: Vulcan Elements has established a full supply chain to manufacture rare earth permanent magnets in the United States. This includes a network of raw material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and a growing talent pool. These magnets are used in all critical industries, like aerospace and transportation, data centers and telecommunications, industrial equipment and power generation, and robotics. To produce the highest-performing and most cost-competitive magnets in the world, Vulcan Elements is utilizing multi-scale computational materials engineering to optimize composition, employing the most environmental conscious methods to refine metals from primary ore and recycled materials, and integrating AI and machine learning to create a fully connected factory. Vulcan Elements has broken ground on a 1.1 million square foot manufacturing facility - the largest outside of China - right here in North Carolina.
