The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to BWE Ltd for the supply of a continuous extrusion machine suitable for processing low-strength aluminium alloys and high-strength titanium alloys in powder and rod feedstock forms into fully dense products.

The machine, valued at AUD 362,450, was intended for the Sheffield Royce Institute within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, part of the Henry Royce Institute.

It was to enable conversion of oversized gas-atomised powder, used additive layer manufacturing powder, and machining swarf into wire for sectors including wire-fed ALM feedstock, and to support research projects on novel alloy extrusion, nano-structured/ultra-fine grained materials, and metallic alloy recycling.

The equipment was to be made available to academic and industrial partners across the United Kingdom.
