Recycled metals to transform alloys

摘要

High-strength aluminium alloys produced from completely recycled metals could be developed as a result of a UK-led research partnership.Aluminium production consumes 3.5 per cent of the world's electricity supply, while producing one percent of global carbon dioxide emissions.However, the metal is theoretically infinitely recyclable, with its recycling consuming just five per cent of the energy needed tooroduce the metal in the first place. Dver one billion tonnes of aluminium nas been produced since 1908, of which over 75 per cent remains as accessible stock.
