Abstract: A technique for optimizing metal extrusion process parameters includes receiving values representing properties of an extrusion press machine, and calculating an estimated surface exit temperature of a metal work product resulting from an extrusion of a metal billet using the extrusion press machine based on the machine property values, an initial temperature of the metal billet prior to the extrusion, an extrusion force applied to the metal billet during the extrusion, and an extrusion speed of the metal work product. The estimated surface exit temperature of the metal work product is compared with a target hot shortness exit temperature of the metal work product. The initial temperature of the metal billet, the extrusion speed, and the extrusion force are changed based on the comparison until the estimated surface exit temperature equals the target hot shortness exit temperature.

Abstract: A metal fused deposition printer can use the thixotropic properties of a metal (e.g., alloy) to control the viscosity of the material being deposited. The viscosity of the metal can be controlled by shearing the metal before, during, or after the deposition process. Use of the thixotropic properties can allow the viscosity of the metal to be controlled independent of the temperature of the metal. This can allow for more precise control of the temperature differential between the layer being deposited and the substrate layer, for example, such that the temperatures are substantially the same.

Abstract: Systems and methods for quenching an extrudate using an atomized spray of liquid are described. A system includes a billet die at a proximal end configured to accept a billet and form an extrudate, a quench chamber located adjacent to the billet die for receiving the extrudate and comprising at least one pulsed width modulation (PWM) atomizing spray nozzle and a control module in communication with the at least one PWM atomizing spray nozzle and configured to independently control a liquid pressure, a gas pressure, a spray frequency, a duty cycle and flow rate of each at least one PWM atomizing spray nozzle.

Abstract: A process for forming extruded products using a device having a scroll face configured to apply a rotational shearing force and an axial extrusion force to the same preselected location on material wherein a combination of the rotational shearing force and the axial extrusion force upon the same location cause a portion of the material to plasticize, flow and recombine in desired configurations. This process provides for a significant number of advantages and industrial applications, including but not limited to extruding tubes used for vehicle components with 50 to 100 percent greater ductility and energy absorption over conventional extrusion technologies, while dramatically reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A shear assisted extrusion process for producing cladded materials wherein a cladding material and a material to be cladded are placed in sequence with the cladded material positioned to contact a rotating scroll face first and the material to be cladded second. The two materials are fed through a shear assisted extrusion device at a preselected feed rate and impacted by a rotating scroll face to generate a cladded extrusion product. This process allows for increased through wall strength and decreases the brittleness in formed structures as compared to the prior art.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus to build a three-dimensional metal object using a semi-solid filament extrusion method is disclosed. A frame comprises a carriage capable of moving in Y-axis and Z-axis direction. The frame further comprises an extruder head, which is attached to a support section of the carriage is configured to move in X-axis direction to continuously print a filament in a layer by layer fashion using a thixo-extrusion process on a print bed in a pre-defined three-dimensional path. The filament is a treated metal alloy fed into the extruder head via a feeder mechanism and heated to a semi-solid state to allow the controlled flow of the slurry via a nozzle section to build the three-dimensional extruded object with the predetermined microstructure. The metal alloy is pre-processed using a heat treatment and a mechanical deformation technique to enhance the properties of the filament used in the semi-solid extrusion process.

Abstract: A metal fused, deposition printer, that uses the thixotropic (or other) properties of a metal (or alloy) to control the viscosity of the material being deposited. In the invention presented in this patent, the viscosity of the metal is controlled by shearing it before, during, or after the deposition process. Since thixotropic (or other) properties allow for the control of the viscosity separately from the temperature, the taught invention allows for precise control of the temperature differential between the layer being deposited, and the substrate layer.
