| Abstract Scope |
Recycling is becoming increasingly important around the world, and limitation of primary aluminum resources makes the use of scrap more critical. However, the impurities of lacquered scraps in the melting process reduces the melting quality due to presence of coatings. Therefore, studies on the removing of coatings from scrap are of great importance. In this study, coatings were removed from coated scraps coming from automotive parts using delacquering furnace and their effect on aluminum melt quality was examined. In this investigation, characteristics and quality of mill finish, delacquered and lacquered scraps during recycling process and casting were evaluated. As a result of the tests carried out, important results were obtained about the effects of using these devices in the recycling process. Based on the experimental setup, a comparison was made between cast parts from different scraps, evaluating spectral analysis, optical microscopy, and SEM results to discuss the differences among samples. |
