Project description
The transition to a circular economy requires much greater use of recycled aluminium. However, wider adoption of secondary aluminium alloys remains limited by impurity-related microstructural defects and reduced casting reliability. Among these impurities, iron (Fe) is particularly problematic as it promotes the formation of Fe-rich intermetallic compounds, which can impair castability and reduce performance. At the same time, recycled alloys are often more susceptible to solidification defects…
