MIT scientists forge Foundation Alloy with solid-state tech that reinvents high-performance alloys production. A team of scientists from MIT has forged a new company that is redefining how metals are made – engineering ultra-high-performance metal alloys – including chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten – with a streamlined production process that doesn't rely on melting raw materials. The potential of this alloy-making technology to modernize the manufacturing of a wid...
CMF's closed-cell structure enhances compressive strength and insulation with 70% less material, making it stronger, lighter, and environmentally friendly. Metal foams are conventionally open-cell, with density and porosity akin to a sponge or steel wool, while a groundbreaking new composite metal foam (CMF) can be likened to blocks of Swiss cheese and is set to revolutionize aerospace and defense industries with its unprecedented combination of strength, lightness, and...
Consortium secures UK funding to create low-carbon alloys using recycled aluminum strengthened by scandium. In a significant move toward sustainable automotive manufacturing, an industry consortium including Aston Martin, Boeing UK, and NioCorp Developments Ltd. has secured approximately $3.8 million in UK funding to develop lightweight aluminum alloys and cast components using recycled aluminum strengthened by scandium. This collaborative initiative, dubbed Project Pivot...
Rio Tinto has made the first sale of aluminum-scandium alloy from its plant in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, offering a North American supply of scandium, a metal deemed critical to the United States and Canada. This first batch of aluminum-scandium alloy from Rio Tinto's Quebec operations will be delivered to Amaero, an Australian-based company known for manufacturing large-format complex components in metal with laser-based metal 3D printing. This alloy is to be made from the...
