Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

Gravity casting aluminum in permanent molds beats conventional sand and pressure die casting. Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped push one of the world’s most familiar metals into unfamiliar territory. By teaming ...

Aluminium alloys remain at the forefront of materials research owing to their exceptional balance of strength, ductility and low density. The interplay between microstructural features—such as grain ...

AA2024 is a heat-treatable aluminum-copper alloy that comprises aluminum, copper, magnesium, silicon, iron, and manganese. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile strength, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

casting is a very complicated process. The most important part is the rate at which a casting cools down. Many properties of the casting are affected by this rate, which eventually determines the ...
