Data-Driven Design of Recycling-Friendly Aluminium Alloys

Data-Driven Design of Recycling-Friendly Aluminium Alloys Montanelli, Luca Francesco Improving material efficiency through the increased use of secondary material is an unambiguous goal for the aluminium industry. The main barrier in achieving this is the compositional mismatch between scrap and alloy. Among the many approaches to address this, one promising direction is to design alloys that compositionally match scrap streams, a practice called recycling-friendly alloy design (RFAD). However,
