Effect of Recycling on the Mechanical Properties of 6000 Series Aluminum-Alloy Sheet.

Sustainability is one of the biggest values of today and for the future of our society; a responsible usage of material in every sector is fundamental to achieving sustainability goals. Aluminum alloys are some of the most promising materials in terms of strength and weight, but their production implies the emission of a high amount of CO. For that reason, the study and development of aluminum alloys with increasing scrap content play a central role in future applications.
