    • Tolerance of Al–Mg–Si Wrought Alloys for High Fe Contents: The Role of Effective Si
    Authors: Österreicher, J. A.; Arnoldt, A. R.; Gneiger, S.;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Aluminum scrap is often contaminated with steel parts, leading to accumulation of Fe in recycled Al alloys. Consequently, low limits for Fe in Al wrought alloys are difficult to meet by recycling without dilution with primary Al. Wrought alloys with a higher tolerance for Fe could help overcome this problem and improve the sustainability of Al wrought products. Here we study the effects of increasing the Fe content in EN AW-6060, 6005A, and 6082 from 0.2 to 0.7 wt pct. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys after extrusion and artificial ageing are compared to the standard alloys. We found that 6082 is more tolerant to above-standard Fe contents than 6005A, which i...
