SUMMARY:National Lab Discovery Series - SHAPE
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″]\n		Register Here\n							Advanced Metal Upcycling with ShAPE™[vc_column_text]Join the U.S. Department of Energy for a National Lab Discovery Series webinar featuring ShAPETM (Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion)\, an award-winning advanced manufacturing technology developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). \nThis session will focus on one of ShAPE’s newest and most promising applications: upcycling aluminum scrap and other lower-cost feedstocks into high-performance materials through solid-phase processing. Unlike conventional manufacturing approaches that rely on melting\, ShAPE processes materials in the solid state which offers a pathway to transform lower-value feedstocks into high-value products ShAPE enables manufacturers to produce high-performance materials more efficiently while lowering manufacturing costs and strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities. \nAttendees will also receive an overview of the broader ShAPE platform and its applications across automotive manufacturing\, electricity generation and transmission\, buildings and construction\, oil and gas\, aerospace\, national security\, and other advanced manufacturing sectors.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
