The Effect of Trace Levels of Ni and V on the Microstructure and Properties of Four Common Aluminum Alloys

The History and Future Challenges of Calcined Petroleum Coke Production and Use in Aluminum Smelting

“…Higher V levels can be more problematic for smelters producing higher purity aluminum products depending on the end-use application. A significant body of work has already been undertaken on this issue, [22][23][24] and more is underway. For some alloys, higher V levels may even be advantageous.…”
