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 ...

In 1889, recent college grad Charles Martin Hall devised a way to isolate metallic aluminum. __1889: __ Charles Martin Hall patents his process for using electrical current to extract metallic ...

Aluminium is a silvery white metal and is insoluble in water under normal circumstances. Totaling circa 8% of the earth's crust, Aluminium is the third most abundant element in Nature. Aluminum is a ...

We discussed the aluminum value chain in the first part of the series. The aluminum process starts by extracting bauxite from the Earth’s crust. The bauxite is refined into alumina. Alumina is a key ...

Twisted aluminum mesh, banged-up bicycle frames and used car parts languishing in junk yards could gain new life as building structures such as door and window frames, facades, lighting and decorative ...

A Purdue University engineer has developed a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water for running fuel cells or internal combustion engines, and the technique could be used to ...

Conventional manufacturing processes for aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) involve complex procedures that require unique equipment and skills at each stage. This increases the process costs and ...

It’s time to dig into one of the kitchen’s biggest mysteries.

Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has introduced Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in its commercial process. The company claims that this makes Vedanta Aluminium the first company ...

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 ...
