“…Recycling can take place during the manufacturing process (R2 and R3) or after applications (R1 and R4). Recycling can save energy and cost by avoiding purchasing raw materials or conducting extra manufacturing processes [17,18]. More details about the closed-loop recycling strategy or circular economy for automotive aluminium can be found in the references [19,20].…”

Aluminium alloys are promising materials in EVs due to their advantages such as high specific strength, corrosion resistance and recyclability. However, forming complex-shaped thin-wall aluminium products is challenging due to their poor formability and limited dimensional accuracy. Meanwhile, recycling some of the high-strength aluminium alloys from EVs is still challenging. This review highlights some of the future potential aluminium forming techniques for EV production, including incremental sheet forming (ISF), hot forming and quenching (HFQ ® ) technique, and transverse stretching and local bending (TSLB). Also, the issues associated with aluminium recycling are listed and discussed. This review provides scientific guidance to the industry and the scientific community for advancing the applications of aluminium alloys in EVs.

“…The heat required for the process can be generated from the friction between the plasticized aluminum and the die components alone, so external heat input is not necessary. [15] In the past research, aluminum scrap in the form of chips from a dry milling process has been used primarily. The reason for this is the fact that this conventional processing method can produce particles that are easy to control in terms of both size and surface condition.…”
