Ageing and strengthening of cold-rolled Al-Mg(-Cu)-Si-Mn alloys: experimental analysis and modelling
… industry have led to increasing studies on Al-Mg-Cu-Si alloys. In this thesis, nine Al-(1-3)Mg-(0-0.4)Cu-0.15Si-0.25Mn (in wt%) alloys with potential applications in packaging and automotive industries have been investigated. By means of mechanical testing, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) …

Recycling of worn-out vehicular brake pads and discs
… a good metallurgical bonding with GCI substrate. Current methods employed to deal with replaced pads and discs primarily involve remelting, with a small proportion disposed of in landfills. Both approaches result in a significant waste of resources and a subsequent increase in CO2 footprint. From …
