National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Separation of Cast and Wrought Aluminum Alloys by Thermomechanical Processing.

PB86107885

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Brown, R. D.; Ambrose, F.; Montagna, D.
Page Count	22
Abstract	There are techniques for separating aluminum alloys from mixed scrap, but there are no efficient ways to separate wrought aluminum from cast aluminum. This Bureau of Mines report describes a novel technique for separating mixed aluminum alloy scrap into cast and wrought aluminum alloy fractions. The technique, which uses conventional heating, fragmentizing, and screening equipment, exploits differences in the mechanical properties of cast and wrought aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures.
Keywords	Separation Aluminum alloys Materials recovery Metal scrap Thermodynamic properties Crushing Size screening
