Abstract Scope |
Increasing requirements to reduce CO2 emissions by using high scrap rates while maintaining the same high material performance represent a major hurdle that modern aluminum alloys must overcome. Since classic aluminum alloy systems are limited to very specific alloying elements, material improvements to meet the requirements described above are limited.
In this context crossover alloys – a new class of aluminum alloys that is capable of combining beneficial properties of already existing alloys and alloy classes by advanced alloy design – have recently gained increased attention in the scientific community. Industrial trials on 5xxx/7xxx crossover alloys performed at AMAG (CrossAlloyTM) additionally reveal an outstanding performance that is not limited to utilization in one specific industrial sector. This study provides an insight into the potential of CrossAlloysTM for the wide variety of potential fields of applications. |
