Novel Secondary Aluminum Alloys with Enhanced Impurity Tolerance
TS-071088 — The Need
The transportation industry increasingly relies on aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) casting alloys to reduce vehicle weight and emissions. However, structural applications demand high ductility and strict impurity limits, making them incompatible with most recycled aluminum. Current secondary alloy…

Use of Cerium in Neutralizing Iron Impurity in Aluminum Alloys
TS-065429 — Iron is the main and most detrimental impurity in most industrial casting aluminum alloys. Iron content in aluminum alloys is limited, up to 0.1 weight% in some alloys.
Iron is a major impurity element in primary and secondary (scrap) aluminum alloys. It is difficult to remove during melting and casting. Controlling the formation of Al-Fe-based intermetallics via alloying is key to leveraging the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy products. The current struc…
