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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Nanotechnology will eventually play a leading role in the continuation of Moore's law. There are two approaches to producing nanoscale devices and components; top-down construction which takes ...
