There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

Proper design of the homogenization heat treatment of 6000 series Al wrought alloys is
crucial for processes such as hot rolling and extrusion. Important aspects are the …

Iron contamination in secondary aluminum scrap must be diluted with primary aluminum
during conventional recycling to bring subsequent alloys within allowable Fe limits. In this …

In this paper, the microstructure evolution in an Al–Mg–Si alloy during the soaking and
cooling of homogenization was investigated. Moreover, the effects of the cooling rate on the …

Heat treatment has a significant impact on the microstructure and the mechanical properties
of Al-Mg-Si alloys. The present study presents a first Phase-Field modelling approach on the …

Scandium, and scandium combined with zirconium, improves multiple properties of
aluminum based alloys. In this work, we performed solidification and heat treatment …

Several key properties of aluminium semi-finished products, including formability, softening
behaviour, strength and ductility, are influenced by the constitution of alloying elements in …

Abstract In this study, 6201 Al–Mg–Si cast ingots were investigated to determine the
influence of total iron and silicon contents and homogenization on their microstructure and …

Desirable properties including strength, ductility and extrudability of 6060 Al-alloys are
highly dependent on processing to control the development of microstructural features. In …

This book describes the application of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)
concepts to develop predictive models that can be used to design alloy materials, including …
