Plastic consolidation of highly dispersed forms of light metals and alloys. ŁukaszWzorekAGH-University of Science and Technology Baku - 2013
Recycling of aluminium Last years showed that amount of aluminum that comes from recycling grows. Evolution of aluminium recycling in EU (1980-2002) Aluminium production in thousand metric tons per year
Machining Milling Drilling Turning Around 5% of primary aluminium is a machining waste
Conventionalmethod of aluminium recycling Melting Casting Cutting of ingot • Very expensive and big amount of waste is generated. The finer elements are being melted the bigger material loss is being generated because of burns.
