Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aluminum alloy ingot using scrap aluminum alloy in the 2xxx or 7xxx series, and a fabrication method after rolling, extrusion and/or forging of an aeronautical structure comprising the steps in the above method, and then at least one rolling, extrusion and/or forging step of the aluminum alloy ingot in the series of scrap used.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for cold rolling bright aluminium rolled products and comprises: (a) Providing a first aluminium alloy rolled product (b) Rolling said first product with a rolling mill (1) having at least one work roll ground to a finish (11), with a roughness Ra less than 1 ?m, and using a rolling lubricant (51) from a first container (2) comprising less than 150 mg/L of aluminium debris to obtain a second aluminium rolled product having at least one bright surface, (c) Transferring at least a portion of said rolling lubricant to a second container (3) (d) Filtering the lubricant from said second container (52) by using cross flow filtration (4) through a membrane (41), to obtain a cleaned rolling lubricant (54) comprising less than 10 mg/L and preferably less than 5 mg/L of aluminium debris preferentially having a mean diameter of less than 2 ?m, (e) Returning said cleaned rolling lubricant (54) to the first container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an aluminum alloy ingot using scrap aluminum alloy in the 2xxx or 7xxx series wherein (i) scrap aluminum alloy in the 2xxx or 7xxx series is procured; (ii) optionally, oil present on the scrap is separated, (iii) a first treatment operation of said scrap is made by a first liquid at a temperature of at least 10° C.

Abstract: A catalyst carrier including a surface layer of oxygen-donating oxide, particularly cerine, is disclosed. A catalytic phase deposited on said carrier generally includes platinum and rhodium, thus forming a catalytic system for exhaust pipes, said catalytic phase being readily recoverable by simple leaching.
