Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have received the 2026 ASM International Henry Marion Howe Medal for pioneering research on ultrasonic processing during aluminum solidification. Using in-situ synchrotron X-ray analysis, the study revealed how ultrasound refines the microstructure of Al-Si-Mg alloys, providing new insights to support advanced aluminum manufacturing and greater use of recycled aluminum in automotive applications.
