From scrap to strength: Solid phase manufacturing transforms aluminum waste into high-value alloys

Metal scrap can be directly transformed and upgraded into high-performance, high-value alloys without the need for conventional melting processes, according to a study by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Study explores solid-phase manufacturing to upcycle metal scrap into high-value alloys - Research & Development World

A new study by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) demonstrates that scrap aluminum from industrial waste can be directly transformed into high-performance alloys without conventional melting processes. Published in Nature Communications, the study outlines a method called solid phase alloying, which provides a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable pathway for… The post Study explores s…

Solid phase processing can convert metal scrap into custom alloys for WAAM

There’s a well-worn adage in subtractive manufacturing: “If you’re not making chips, you’re not making money.” One of the reasons it’s so well-worn is that it cuts to the core of what machining is all about—carving away the useless waste material from metal billets to leave only the high-value components hidden inside. Michelangelo would approve. But what if that useless waste material could be repurposed? Could the chips themselves make money? …
