Summary: Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have introduced RidgeAlloy, a new material design that allows contaminated end-of-life vehicle scrap to be recycled into high-performance structural components. This technology overcomes previous impurity hurdles (iron and silicon buildup), potentially providing aluminum extruders with a high-quality, lower-cost domestic scrap source that bypasses the energy-intensive primary smelting process.
