A new treatment method for waste products generated in the aluminum smelting industry has been developed at Portland Aluminium, based in Victoria, Australia. The waste, spent pot lining has been the ...

Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Aluminium is a silvery white metal and is insoluble in water under normal circumstances. Totaling circa 8% of the earth's crust, Aluminium is the third most abundant element in Nature. Aluminum is a ...

Using a novel Solid Phase Processing approach, a research team eliminated several steps that are required during conventional extrusion processing of aluminum alloy powders, while also achieving a ...

Secondary aluminum producers demand high-purity shredded aluminum scrap, which requires extraction from a highly mixed stream of shredded materials. STEINERT has both ...

A Purdue University engineer has developed a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water for running fuel cells or internal combustion engines, and the technique could be used to ...

We discussed the aluminum value chain in the first part of the series. The aluminum process starts by extracting bauxite from the Earth’s crust. The bauxite is refined into alumina. Alumina is a key ...

Aluminum has been mass produced the same way since 1886, when it was pioneered by Alcoa’s founder, Charles Hall. The process involves applying a strong electrical current to alumina, which removes ...

Alcoa Inc. said on Thursday it has developed a new way of making aluminum sheet for the auto industry, the latest big-ticket investment by a metals supplier as car makers look to meet tough new ...
