Molding process, raw material, conductive material and/or component

Abstract

A shear assisted extrusion process for forming an extrudate of a desired composite from a feedstock material is provided. The process may include applying a rotational shear force and an axial extrusion force to the same location on the feedstock material. An apparatus for such a process may include a die tool defined by a die face extending inwardly from an edge of the die face in at least one cross-section at an angle greater than zero relative to a sidewall of the die tool; and / or a die tool defining an opening, the opening configured to receive a feedstock material for extrusion, and the die tool further defining a die face defining a recess within the die face and adjacent the opening. The shear-assisted extrusion process also provides for mixing different portions of the feedstock material within the recess around the opening before the feedstock material enters the opening; and extruding the mixed portion.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

These alloys (such as C10100, C11000, C15000, AA1100, AA1350, AA8002) are designed to have a minimum of impurities, but occasionally contain additives to improve the mechanical properties, wear and corrosion resistance of the metal substrate, however, doing so at the expense of electrical conductivity sex

This is because traditionally, the introduction of additives in metals increases charge scattering, which is detrimental to the carrier transport properties

Significant gaps remain in the art of introducing additives to metals to create alloys or composites for improved electrical performance
