An advanced manufacturing process to produce nano structured rods and tubes directly from high-performance aluminum alloy powder—in a single step—was recently demonstrated by researchers from the ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

Aluminium extrusion encompasses a variety of techniques in which a heated billet is forced through a shaped die to produce profiles with uniform cross-sections. Key process variants include direct and ...

Atomic13 is working to commercialize a novel extrusion technology developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that lowers the carbon footprint of aluminum extrusions by approximately 90 percent ...

Using a novel Solid Phase Processing approach, a research team eliminated several steps that are required during conventional extrusion processing of aluminum alloy powders, while also achieving a ...
