In 2019, the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) awarded Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) $1.8M to develop new ways to manufacture high-performance aluminum alloy tubing with lower embedded energy and improved mechanical properties relative to conventional methods. The process developed by PNNL reduces the cost of advanced and high-strength aluminum alloys, allowing for broader applications throughout the economy.
