Description
Tianhao Wang and seven co-authors upgrade aluminum scrap into a high-strength alloy without melting it, in a study from twenty twenty-four. Recycling scrap aluminum by melting saves energy but locks the metal into middling grades. Their solid-phase method alloys the scrap while it stays solid.
Starting from a common extrusion-grade scrap, they blended in copper, zinc, and magnesium. The result matched a premium aircraft-grade alloy in makeup and behavior. Tiny clusters and nanoscale strengthening particles packed the structure, more than tripling yield and peak strength. Because the process is scalable and can be tuned on demand, the authors offer it as a model for upcycling many metals from scrap.
