Liquid Metal Jetting: why every droplet oxidizes in flight

Uncategorized / By

Every aluminum droplet from Liquid Metal Jetting oxidizes before it lands. The physics can’t be fixed. That’s why we developed something different. In essence, Liquid Metal Jetting builds aluminum parts by depositing molten droplets with 50-micron precision. No powder, no laser, just controlled droplets of aluminum creating geometries impossible with other methods. The US Navy …

Improving Aluminium Recycling Efficiency with FSE and MMD

Improving Aluminium Recycling Efficiency with FSE and MMD, building real industrial symbiosis

Uncategorized / By

Introduction: Improving Aluminium Recycling Efficiency with FSE and MMD. Aluminium is widely used across industries for its strength, light weight, and recyclability. However, CNC machining generates substantial aluminium chip waste, which is difficult to recycle due to high oxide content and varying size. This post examines how Friction Stir Extrusion (FSE) and Molten Metal Deposition …
