Novel Manufacturing Method Could Reduce Costs, Time, and Energy Needed to Make High-Quality Metals

Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1862665
Industry is responsible for about 30% of U.S. carbon emissions and consumes about a third of the country's energy. Much of that energy is used to make essential materials for transportation, defense, and marine applications, like cars, airplanes, space shuttles, and ships. Now, with a novel manufacturing method called Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE), manufacturers could make higher quality materials while significantly reducing their energy consumption, carbon emissions, and costs.
