A process that welds thick plates of aluminum to steel has been developed and tested by researchers. Known as Friction Stir Dovetailing, the novel process will be used for making lighter-weight combat vehicles that are swifter and more fuel efficient.
A Kobe University research group including Associate Professor Maki Hideshi (Center for Environmental Management), PhD candidate Sakata Genki (Graduate School of Engineering, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, currently employed at Central Glass Co., Ltd.) and Professor Mizuhata Minoru (Graduate School of Engineering) have developed a new analysis method that uses magnetic fields to quickly and accurately measure the concentration of aluminum used to purify tap water.
A team of researchers from the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has partnered with Wisconsin-based Eck Industries and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to create aluminum alloys that have easier workability and better tolerance to heat than currently available products.
Lightweight metals leader Alcoa today announced it has completed an expansion at its Tennessee facility dedicated to supplying aluminum sheet to the automotive industry. The plant will provide aluminum sheet to automakers that include Ford Motor Company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors.
Alcoa and Ford Motor Company have teamed up to develop advanced aluminum alloys for automotive parts. These next-generation aluminum alloys can be easily formed, and hence, design-friendly.
A new video from SciAps features a real world demonstration of the Z handheld elemental analyzer, and a candid interview at Wentworth Scrap Metals.
World’s leading aluminum rolling and recycling company, Novelis has developed unique high-strength alloys - Novelis Advanz™ 7000-series. These alloys are mainly meant for use in safety-critical parts of vehicle structures. The key features are that they exhibit two to three times higher strength than currently available automotive aluminum, and are capable of reducing considerable amount of weight compared to existing high strength steels, thereby enabling automotive manufacturers to lighten vehicle weight further and at the same time ensure better passenger safety.
Researchers from Brunel University, London have developed a continuous process to enable applying ultrasound degassing upstream from the casting mold and to larger melt volumes. The team had already proved that ultrasound degassing of aluminium alloys is greener, cleaner, and more cost-effective than existing techniques. The team was working within a European consortium.
ThyssenKrupp Carbon Components has established a cooperation with Maxion Wheels to develop new ultra-lightweight, carbon fiber-aluminum hybrid wheels for premium vehicles.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Aluminum Industry in India 2015" report to their offering.
