Aluminum, Reengineered from the Inside Out
Atomic13 is an advanced materials company that transforms post-consumer scrap into high-performance aluminum through shear-based microstructural engineering.
Process
A New Way to Form Aluminum
For over a century, aluminum extrusion has relied on a uniaxial process that limits how microstructure—and therefore performance—is created. Atomic13 introduces shear deformation into extrusion, fundamentally changing how aluminum transforms during processing.
- Precision engineer the microstructure during deformation
- Eliminate dependence on primary aluminum
- Decouple from LME and Midwest Premium pricing
- Utilize 100% post-consumer scrap as a programmable input producing a zero embodied carbon product from the first extrusion produced
- Our alloy chemistries are born in the remelt furnace—where heterogeneous scrap is transformed into controlled, engineered inputs that define downstream performance
ATOMIC13 ADVANTAGES
What this
Unlocks
Uniform Microstructure, Edge to Core
Shear-driven processing produces consistent grain structure throughout the profile, reducing variability and improving material integrity.
Decoupled from Commodity Pricing
By eliminating reliance on primary aluminum, we remove exposure to LME and Midwest Premium volatility, creating structurally stable pricing.
Resilient, Domestic Supply Chain
Built on post-consumer scrap and domestic processing, our model reduces geopolitical risk and ensures material availability.
Lower Carbon by Design
100% post-consumer scrap input reduces Scope 3 embodied carbon in the raw material to zero.
Materials, Not Catalog Alloys
We develop application-specific alloys engineered for performance, not constrained by legacy specification chemistry limits.
