Meeting 2022 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition
Symposium REWAS 2022: Coupling Metallurgy and Sustainability: An EPD Symposium in Honor of Diran Apelian
Presentation Title The Future of the Aluminum Industry. It's Closer Than You Think
Author(s) Robert De Saro, Sean Kelly, Joe Craparo, Emily Molstad
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Robert De Saro
Abstract Scope The aluminum industry is going through remarkable change as demand surges for light weighting and vehicle electrification. However, this raises concerns since there is a need to acquire high value wrought alloys and reduce greenhouse gases. Two categories of emerging technologies that can address these concerns and greatly improve aluminum producers' economics are discussed. The first category is those that can optimally process scrap in real-time based on alloy specification, quality, demand, and value. An example is Solvus Global's process optimization software VALIS. The second are technologies that facilitate in-line alloying so furnace operations can be made truly continuous. Examples are ERCo's OnSpecTM to measure molten metal chemistry in real-time and their Aluminum Integrated Minimill. All complex endeavors are achieved successfully through cooperation and strategic partnerships. Therefore, in honor of Professor Apelian, it is fitting to discuss the major influence he had on developing these technologies in collaboration with the authors.
