| Abstract Scope |
Sustainable trends in the packaging industry market are leading us to development of new aluminium alloys, that enable to achieve higher mechanical properties. Use of circular materials and post-consumer recycled materials are the approaches to reduce the carbon footprint of products. Several aluminium alloys were developed for aluminium narrow strips, cast with a rotary strip caster, to produce slugs for aerosol cans. The newly developed alloys provide constant mechanical properties during the manufacturing of aerosol cans, a good transformation and high deformable and burst pressures of the aerosol cans. With increasing of mechanical properties of aerosol-can materials it is possible to have a significant impact on lightweight of the final aerosol cans. Innovative approaches were used with use of a post-consumer recycled material in different proportions in the casting and heat treatment process of aluminium alloys to reduce carbon footprint of products in the packaging industry. |
