  • HIGH RECYCLE CONTENT ALUMINUM ALLOYS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING
    Publication number: 20260071303
    Abstract: Aluminum alloys, metal products made using the aluminum alloys, and methods of processing the aluminum alloys are disclosed. The disclosed alloys can be prepared using large amounts of recycled aluminum alloy content, such as up to 100% recycled content, or more. The disclosed aluminum alloys include amounts of iron, manganese, chromium, and/or silicon in excess of comparable aluminum alloys commonly made by alloying prime aluminum. Further, the disclosed alloys include ratios of a total amount of manganese and chromium to iron of greater than or about 0.60 or 0.70, which may contribute, at least partly, to desirable bending, forming, and surface properties and characteristics of metal products made using the aluminum alloys. The disclosed alloys can be used to prepare automotive and structural panels such that these products are generated using large amounts of recycled aluminum alloy content.

  • Aluminum alloys and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 10995397
    Abstract: Disclosed are high-strength aluminum alloys and methods of making and processing such alloys. More particularly, disclosed are aluminum alloys exhibiting improved mechanical strength. The processing method includes homogenizing, hot rolling, solutionizing, and multiple-step quenching. In some cases, the processing steps can further include annealing and/or cold rolling.
