Microstructure and Properties of As-Cast and Heat-Treated 2017A Aluminium Alloy Obtained from Scrap Recycling.

ABSTRACT: The continuous increase in the consumption of aluminium and its alloys has led to an increase in the amount of aluminium scrap. Due to environmental protection, and to reduce the costs of manufacturing aluminum in recent years, a lot of research is devoted to recycling of aluminum alloys. The paper presents the results of research concerning the possibility of manufacturing standardized alloy 2017A from commercial and post-production scrap by continuous casting. Obtained from recycling process ingots were subjected to analysis of chemical composition and intermetallic phase composition. Based on the results of light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy + electron dispersive spectroscopy (SEM + EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) the following phases in the as-cast state were identif
