I just wanna share with you guys a recent publication from friends, arising as another international collaboration, where the sustainability of aluminum alloys and plans for the future in the field have been nicely outlined! Great work coordinated by Professors Dierk Raabe and Stefan Pogatscher! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079642522000287
From Montanuniversität Leoben: https://www.unileoben.ac.at/en/newsdetail/schluessel-zum-recycling For almost a century, commercial aluminum materials have been developed and optimized for high performance in specific applications within strict chemical confines of industrially established alloy classes. The requirements associated with sustainable lightweighting concepts call for new strategies that offer a broader property portfolio with a better trade-off between formability, achievable … Continue reading Key to recycling
With great happiness and on behalf of my co-authors, we share our just published review paper entitled "On the potential of aluminium crossover alloys", available online on the prestigious journal Progress in Materials Science. A link for free access of our paper can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pmatsci.2021.100873 This paper is the consolidation of Dr. Stemper's … Continue reading Aluminium Crossover Alloys: an outlook for the future of lightweight metallurgy!
Our work on the emergence of a new class of aluminium alloys -- the crossover alloys -- has been highlighted in the Acta Materialia's most downloaded articles! A throughout article led and written by Dr. Lukas Stemper showing how chemical complexity and synergy between different alloying elements is now defying almost 100 years of accumulated … Continue reading Defying reductionism in aluminium alloys
A great work from my friend, Florian Schimd, exploring a new alloy design concept in aluminium alloys class 7xxx. Comprehensive experimental work comprising a plethora of experimental techniques! I am very honoured to have had a small contribution on the STEM characterisation. Online now at Materialia: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtla.2020.100997
As part of an excellent PhD work (under completion) of my friend Lukas Stemper, a novel class of aluminium alloys is currently under development at Montanuniversitaet Leoben. This is an exciting field of research on advanced aluminium alloys with several potential applications in modern human technology. Check our most recent papers on the topic. A. … Continue reading A Novel Class of Aluminium Alloys
