Abstract
Sustainable aluminum production for the automotive industry with a high content of recycled material offers considerable potential for CO2 footprint reduction and cost savings. A three-dimensional characterization of cast AA6016 alloys with <50 wt% and >75 wt% of recycled aluminum was carried out to assess the volume fraction, total number and surface area of intermetallics and casting voids using high-resolution synchrotron X-ray tomography. A new data analysis method is presented to describe morphology of intermetallics based on a surface area/volume by volume plot, which allows for better classification of their different geometry clusters even for small modifications of Fe and Mn in the cast alloy.
期刊介绍：
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
