Abstract: A method for sorting conveyed material, comprising the steps of providing conveyed material that includes components made of a metal or alloys thereof as well as other components. The method including separating components made of the metal or alloys thereof into a target fraction by means of at least one separating device. A residual fraction of non separated components remains. The method includes determining a loss portion of components made of the metal or alloys thereof in the residual fraction, and controlling or regulating the separating device depending on the determined loss portion. An apparatus for sorting and for carrying out the method is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminum alloy having the following composition 0.03 wt.-%?Si?0.6 wt.-%, 0.15 wt.-%?Fe?0.8 wt.-%, 0.02 wt.-%?Cu?0.25 wt.-%, 0.20 wt.-%?Mn?1.4 wt %, 3.0 wt %?Mg?5.0 wt %, Cr?0.1 wt %, Zn?0.25 wt %, Ti?0.10 wt %, impurities individually max. 0.05 wt %, in total max. 0.15 wt %, remainder aluminum. The invention further relates to an aluminum strip made of this aluminum alloy and to a method for producing such an aluminum strip and its use.

Abstract: In order to provide a method and device that allow sorting of light-alloy aluminium scrap, the disclosure proposes a method for sorting aluminium scrap and alloys thereof wherein the aluminium scrap is fed to a measuring station, where the electrical conductivity of each aluminium part is measured, and, depending on the result of the measurement, the part is transported further on a dedicated path.
