  • Publication number: 20250091275
    Abstract: A shear-assisted extrusion process and related apparatus can include establishing shear-assisted extrusion to form a first extrudate, suspending such extrusion, and re-starting extrusion with the same material or initiating extrusion of a different material or different billet of the same material to form a second extrudate, without requiring disassembly of extrusion apparatus or clearing of an extrusion die tool. A resulting combined extrudate can include a fused region joining the first extrudate and the second extrudate. Such processing does not require (nor generally involve) melting of feedstock materials and can be performed even if cooling occurs of the die tool and associated billet material between suspension of extrusion and re-start or initiation of subsequent extrusion. In this manner, downtime can be reduced or minimized, or extrusions can be formed having different material properties along their axial extent, as illustrative examples.

  • Publication number: 20250041919
    Abstract: A shear-assisted extrusion process and related apparatus can include establishing a rotational shearing force and an axial extrusion force at an interface where a face of a die tool engages with a face of a portion of billet or other feedstock material, and extruding the portion of feedstock material through an opening of the die tool in response to establishing the rotational shearing force and the axial extrusion force. The die tool can be rotated at a different rate than the feedstock material prior to extrusion of the feedstock material through the opening of the die tool. A number of configurations can be used to provide the rotational shearing force and/or the axial extrusion force, as described herein.

  • Patent number: 12186791
    Abstract: Shear-assisted extrusion processes for forming extrusions of a desired composition from a feedstock material are provided. The processes can include applying a rotational shearing force and an axial extrusion to the same location on the feedstock material. Devices for this can include a die tool defined by a die face extending from a rim of the die face inwardly at an angle greater than zero in relation to a sidewall of the die tool in at least one cross section; and/or a die tool defining an opening configured to receive feedstock material for extrusion and further defining a die face defining a recess within the die face and contiguous with the opening. Shear-assisted extrusion processes are also provided that can mix different portions of the feedstock material within a recess about the opening prior to feedstock material entering the opening; and extruding the mixed portions.

  • Publication number: 20240216973
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for preparing an extruded product from a solid billet. The methods can include providing an as-cast billet for extrusion; applying a simultaneous rotational shear and axial extrusion force to the as-cast billet to plasticize the as-cast billet; and extruding the plasticized as-cast billet with an extrusion die to form an extruded product. Methods for preparing extruded products from billets can also include: providing a billet for extrusion; while maintaining a majority of the billet below 100° C., applying a simultaneous rotational shear and axial extrusion force to one end of the billet to plasticize the one end of the billet; and extruding the plasticized one end of the billet with an extrusion die to form an extruded product.

  • Publication number: 20240009725
    Abstract: Shear assisted extrusion apparatus, tools, inserts, and/or methods are provided. The apparatuses can include: an extrusion receiving channel operably engaged with a tool to receive extruded material; and one or more openings aligned between the spindle ends, the openings configured to convey fluid to the extruded product. Example tools can include one or more openings aligned between the tool ends. Example methods can include quenching plasticized feed material before exiting the spindle. A spindle assembly and/or tool assembly inserts are also provided that can include a sleeve extending within one or both of the spindle assembly or tool assembly of the apparatus; and openings within the sleeve configured to convey fluid to within one or both of the receiving channel of the spindle assembly or the tool assembly.

  • Patent number: 11823402
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting an error in depth information estimated from a two-dimensional (2D) image are disclosed. The method includes diagnosing an error in depth information by inputting a color image and depth information estimated using the color image to a depth error detection network, and determining enhanced depth information by maintaining or correcting the depth information based on the diagnosed error.

  • Publication number: 20230081786
    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.
