Production of Bulk Forms of Metal Alloys by Machining-Based Processes
This new hybrid process will enable foil sheet production with significant reductions in energy consumption, cost, and emissions compared to conventional rolling. The machining-based approach also has important advantages for processing materials of low workability such as Ti and Mg alloys. This will provide critical technology for creating foil sheets from these lightweight alloys at a lower cost, a key enabling step for their widespread application.
