Extrusion, which can produce complex parts made of lightweight metals, is an increasingly important manufacturing process for everything from buildings to electric vehicles. Pacific Northwest National ...

A popular toy throughout the 20th Century, Erector Sets consisted of metal bars with regularly spaced holes allowing connections with nuts and bolts. Did you ever wonder what would happen if someone ...

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a new process that cuts in half the energy needed to manufacture high-performance aluminum alloys. According to the ...

Earlier this year, deep-tech entrepreneur Eric Donsky formed Atomic13, a joint venture with one of the largest scrap metal companies in North America, to industrialize the Shear Assisted Processing ...

Researchers have discovered that through a method of continuous extrusion, rejected titanium powders can be used to create components for high-performance applications. The Conform™ operates as a ...

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 ...
