Intermetallic Phase Heterostructured Circular Aluminium Alloys
A tenet in metallurgy is that the purer metals and alloys are, the better are their properties. However, as recycling in material production increases in importance, so do impurity levels. In aluminium the consequences are particularly harmful because the solubility of most elements in aluminium is very small, resulting in the formation of brittle intermetallic phases. Moreover, once impurities have entered aluminium, it is nearly impossible to remove them. The HETEROCIRCAL project aims to break the paradigm of „harmful“ impurities. HETEROCIRCAL’s main contribution will be to develop a new, ground-breaking class of upcycled materials that can tolerate high levels of impurities. We will…
