August Issue Now Available!

The August 2022 issue of Light Metal Age has been delivered to digital subscribers and will be shipped out to print subscribers soon.

The issue is focused on secondary aluminum and recycling. This includes articles on the worldwide secondary aluminum industry, expanded recycling capacity in the U.S., the use of Industry 4.0 in the recycling of scrap, a new scrap recycling process from Alcoa, the trial of a new pump technology, and surface tension in DC casting.

Another key article addresses the issue of greenwashing in the primary and secondary aluminum industries, as well as downstream production. Extrusion and anodizing articles provide an overview of the new Aluminum Insights extrusion facility, what good extruders can do to deal with quality issues, considerations in using recycled aluminum for anodizing, and how polarization affects both the anodizing process and natural systems. In addition, an article provides an overview on how European smelters are facing closures.

On the cover is an image of end-of-life autos ready for shredding and recycling.
