This patented and award-winning Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion process collects scrap bits and leftover aluminum trimmings from automotive manufacturing and transforms it directly into suitable material for new vehicle parts. It is now being scaled to make lightweight aluminum parts for EVs.research article, eliminates the need to add newly mined aluminum to the material before using it for new parts.
The new report and research publications mark the culmination of a four-year partnership with Magna, the largest manufacturer of auto parts in North America. Magna received funding for the collaborative research from DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office, Lightweight Materials Consortium Program. Extrusions made from AA6063 industrial scrap by ShAPE producing circular, square, trapezoidal, and two-cell trapezoidal profiles. Credit: Scott Whalen | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
