Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Aluminum has been mass produced the same way since 1886, when it was pioneered by Alcoa’s founder, Charles Hall. The process involves applying a strong electrical current to alumina, which removes ...

Nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide has been widely used for the development of various functional nanostructures. So far these self-organized pore structures could only be prepared within narrow ...

In 1889, recent college grad Charles Martin Hall devised a way to isolate metallic aluminum. __1889: __ Charles Martin Hall patents his process for using electrical current to extract metallic ...

Using a novel Solid Phase Processing approach, a research team eliminated several steps that are required during conventional extrusion processing of aluminum alloy powders, while also achieving a ...

Alcoa Corp is looking to develop a process to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the refining of alumina by up to 70%, with support from an Australian government agency grant, the two groups said on ...
