Producing high-quality rolled aluminum requires far more than reducing material thickness. Anyone who has worked in a rolling mill knows that even small changes in process conditions can quickly affect strip quality. From casting and homogenization to hot rolling, cold rolling, and finishing, every step plays a critical role in the quality and performance of ...
Meet Scott Goodrich: Four Decades of Aluminum Rolling Experience, Still Solving What Comes Next When Scott Goodrich began his career, he was not planning to become an aluminum rolling expert. He started in nuclear engineering, studying and working on reactors and the resultant radiation damage that embrittles their components. That issue sparked a deeper ...
What Is Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD)? A New Approach to Aluminum Manufacturing As manufacturers continue looking for ways to improve material performance, reduce waste, and get more value from existing resources, one technology continues to gain attention: Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD). Derived from friction stir welding technology, AFSD is a solid-state additive manufacturing ...
Global Leader in Aluminum Surface Science, Anodizing, and Metallurgical Education When it comes to aluminum surface treatment, anodizing science, and interfacial engineering, few experts are as widely respected as Dr. Judy Runge. With more than 40 years of experience spanning aerospace, electronics, consumer products, and advanced manufacturing, Dr. Runge has helped shape how aluminum is ...
In today’s metals markets, what’s in your scrap matters just as much as how much you pay for it. With rising demand for recycled aluminum driven by supply pressures, tariff impacts, and sustainability goals, uncertainty in scrap quality is a major source of cost, risk, and disputes across the supply chain. Whether you’re a scrap ...
