Application of Ce for scavenging Cu impurities in A356 Al alloys

Secondary (recycled) Al is increasingly used in castings due to its lower cost and carbon footprint relative to primary Al. However, the presence of certain impurity elements in secondary Al degrades its properties, often requiring dilution or downgrading. Scavenging impurities with reactive alloyin...
