A vertical extrusion barrel with vacuum and inert gas enables continuous lithium production while reducing oxidation and easing residue removal.
Independent ram control lets dissimilar materials flow into one mold cavity with less seam distortion and more uniform hybrid extrusion.
Supplementary billet containers keep extrusion running during billet change, reducing die cooling, startup scrap, and production delay.
A rotatable compaction container aligns with the ram for loading, compaction, and extrusion in one press, reducing equipment complexity.
A rotatable compaction container switches from vertical loading to ram-aligned extrusion, improving green carbon body uniformity and processing speed.
A 2 Tesla magnetic field changes billet plasticity during extrusion, cutting flow stress, tooling wear, and press load.
Independent coaxial press rams balance dissimilar metal flow, cut shear stress, and reduce distortion in bonded extruded profiles.
A helical DC winding around the extrusion chamber uses magnetoplasticity to improve metal flow uniformity and reduce press load and tooling wear.
Motorized adjustment and sensor feedback realign the container holder in a direct extrusion press, cutting downtime and operator exposure.
Motorized adjustment with sensors keeps the container holder aligned in direct extrusion presses, cutting downtime and operator exposure.
A slotted liner and vacuum conduit remove trapped gases during metal extrusion, reducing blistering without pressure seals or process interruption.
Cryomilled nano-grained aluminum bellows resolve strength versus manufacturability contradictions by enabling complex convoluted shapes without residual stress.
Compacting separation residues in a sealed chamber removes fluid inclusions to produce pore-free profiles with higher load capacity.
A machinable metal insert joins bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy parts via casting or tack welding to form precise connection mechanisms.
An integrated tongue tab on a hot formed part holds connection pieces captive, eliminating separate cold formed parts and reducing manufacturing complexity.
Segmented heating zones with feedback control maintain billet temperature uniformity despite differential heat loss across the container.
