Aluminium is a key element to boost sustainability thanks to its lightweight that reduces CO2 vehicles emissions. CO2 reduction is not only important in the vehicle’s use but also in the production phase of the raw material used in a vehicle. Aluminium coming from recycling can allow 95% energy savings and 85% less CO2 emissions compared to primary aluminium production.
RAFFMETAL SPA, in partnership with University of Padua (Italy), has developed a new generation of aluminium casting alloys coming from scrap recycling and with very high performances, even if compared with commercial low iron aluminium alloys. RM-ElongAl (with relevant ductility) represent a stimulating opportunity for new applications of High Pressure Die Casting components with a reduced CO2 footprint.
