A new study measures the environmental and economic tradeoffs of making a VTOL UAV component by CNC milling, Selective Laser Melting, or metal extrusion.

Aluminum extrusion has massively increased in recent years, with the addition of the technique to product design and manufacture processes. But what exactly is aluminum extrusion, and how is 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The manufacturing sector continues to face a skilled labor shortage, and nowhere is this more apparent than in specialized fields like metal extrusion. As experienced professionals retire and ...

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 ...

The Indalum group headquartered in Santiago de Chile, Chile, has ordered from SMS Meer, Germany, a short-stroke front-loading extrusion press with a press force of 32/35 MN. This energy-efficient ...

Advances in engineering rely on the development of new materials. The materials must have improved properties, capable of being tailored to a specific application need, to fulfil the requirements of ...
