Recycling and Formulation of Aluminum Scrap via Mass Balance Die Casting and Forming

Optimization of mechanical properties of Al-metal matrix composite produced by direct fusion of beverage cans

“…Despite the potential importance of can collection and recycling for use in higher-value-added applications, limited research has focused on integrating used cans into new alloys by melting. In fact, this process is too often considered to be unattractive because of the negative effects of the can alloys impurities and their variability in chemical composition [9]. Nonetheless, the potential economic and environmental benefits are sufficient to reformulate this approach [10].…”

Foaming of pure aluminium by TiH2

“…One of the advantages in using metal foams, like aluminium foams, is the greater range of allowable temperatures: for polymers, the limit is ,100uC, whereas for aluminium foams, the limit is five times larger. 2,14 There are plenty of methods for aluminium foaming such as casting, powder metallurgy and deposition. Among these methods, casting is being widely used for its capability to producing high porosity foams and commercially low cost compared with the others.…”

Study on Delacquer Used Beverage Cans by Vacuum Pyrolysis for Recycle

“…The consumption of aluminum beverage cans (UBCs) has increased rapidly due to their good properties such as safety, lightweight and high chemical stability since 1960s. 1 The recyclability of aluminum is a major advantage to the aluminum package industry and recycled aluminum represents approximately 35% of the global aluminum products market in 2012. 2 Recycling of UBCs can save energy and resources, reduce waste disposal and increase revenue.…”
