Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the crust of the Earth—but it doesn't exist in its pure form in nature. Bauxite ore first needs to be mined, then alumina is extracted from the bauxite, then the ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new process for the expanded use of lightweight aluminum in cars and trucks at the speed, scale, quality and consistency required by the auto industry. The process ...

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 ...

US Aluminium producer Alcoa will spend almost $30 million trialling a new technology at its processing plant in Western Australia that uses on site renewables rather than fossil fuels to turn bauxite ...

Australia Minerals and Mining Group (AMMG), through its wholly owned subsidiary Kaolin Resources, has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Kalamazon Estudos Geologicos (KEG), the ...

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 ...
