Scientists from the University of Birmingham recently completed research on aluminum alloys that paves the way for improving the tensile strength of alloys used in casting and welding. The research focused on how microscopic crystals grow and change shape in molten metals as they cool. Led by Dr. Biao Cai from the university’s School of Metallurgy […]
Aluminum recycling is an important process for reducing the impact of global industry on the environment, as it is more environmentally friendly and less energy consuming than primary aluminum smelting. However, scrap aluminum is often contaminated with iron, which can create impurities in the recycled aluminum alloys. This results in the desired mechanical properties being reduced, limiting the application of […]
