Definitions
- the aluminium beverage can is very popular.
- can makers are acting to reduce the weight of can body and can end, and try to increase the recycled content of their solutions. It is worth highlighting that using 1 ton of scraps instead of 1 ton of primary metal reduces the CO2 emissions by 10 tons.
- can-makers have progressively reduced the can end diameters from 68.3 mm to 54 mm, and then 50.8 mm, using optimized designs. The combination of smaller diameter and new can end design has enabled the down-gauging from 223 pm to about 203 pm and an associated significant weight reduction.

- the rest is aluminium and unavoidable impurities up to 0.05 wt.% each and up to 0.15 wt.% in total.
- an ingot is prepared by casting, typically by Direct-Chill casting or continuous casting, using 5xxx series aluminium alloys of the invention.
- the casting step comprises melting recycled scrap into liquid metal.
- recycled scrap can refer to a collection of recycled metal comprising mainly aluminium, preferably at least 60 % or 70 % or 80% or 90 % aluminium.
- Recycled scrap can include materials recycled from any suitable source, such as from a metal production facility (e.g., metal casting facility), from a metalworking facility (e.g., production facility that uses metal product to create consumable products), or from post- consumer sources (e.g., regional recycling facilities).
- a metal production facility e.g., metal casting facility
- metalworking facility e.g., production facility that uses metal product to create consumable products
- post- consumer sources e.g., regional recycling facilities.
- Certain aspects of the present disclosure can be well-suited for recycled scrap from sources other than a metal production facility, since such recycled scrap likely contains a mixture of alloys or is mixed with other impurities or elements (e.g., such as paints or coatings).
- Recycled scrap can refer to recycled sheet aluminium products (e.g., aluminium pots and pans, cars inner and outer products), recycled cast aluminium products (e.g., aluminium grills and wheel rims), UBC scrap (e.g., beverage cans), aluminium wire, extruded materials and other aluminium materials.
- recycled sheet aluminium products e.g., aluminium pots and pans, cars inner and outer products
- recycled cast aluminium products e.g., aluminium grills and wheel rims
- UBC scrap e.g., beverage cans
- aluminium wire e.g., extruded materials and other aluminium materials.
- Preferably recycled scrap metal includes used beverage can (UBC) scrap which is collected metal from used beverage cans and similar products that can be recycled for use in further metal products.
- UBC scrap is often a mixture of various aluminium alloys (e.g., from different alloys used for can bodies and can ends) and can often include foreign substances, such as rainwater, drink remainders, organic matter (e.g., paints and laminated films), and other materials.
- UBC scrap can be shredded and decoated or delacquered prior to being melted for use as liquid metal stock in casting a new metal product of the invention.
- liquid UBC metal Because of the impurities and unbalanced alloying elements present in the liquid UBC metal, it can be necessary to either treat the liquid UBC metal to remove undesirable elements or combine the liquid UBC metal with sufficient amounts of new, primary aluminium prior to casting. Similarly, recycled scrap from other sources can have relatively high amounts of impurities and/or unbalanced alloying elements.
- the alloy according to the invention can allow suitable cast products to be produced from a modified liquid metal containing more than about 50 wt.%, about 60 wt.%, about 70 wt.%, about 80 wt.%, about 85 wt.%, about 90 wt.%, about 91 wt.%, about 92 wt.%, about 93 wt.%, about 94 wt.%, about 95 wt.%, about 96 wt.%, about 97 wt.%, about 98 wt.%, or about 99 wt.% recycled scrap.
- the cast products described herein can include less than about 50 wt.%, about 40 wt.%, about 30 wt.%, about 20 wt.%, about 15 wt.%, about 10 wt.%, about 9 wt.%, about 8 wt.%, about 7 wt.%, about 6 wt.%, about 5 wt.%, about 4 wt.%, about 3 wt.%, about 2 wt.%, or about 1 wt.% primary aluminium and optional hardeners (master alloys containing for example Al+Cu, Al+Si, Al+Mn, Al+Fe, etc. or pure metals for example Cu, Mg, Zn, etc.).
- master alloys containing for example Al+Cu, Al+Si, Al+Mn, Al+Fe, etc. or pure metals for example Cu, Mg, Zn, etc.
- the recycled scrap includes recycled aluminium scrap, such as UBC scrap.
- UBC scrap for example, generally contains a mixture of metal from various alloys, such as metal from can bodies (e.g., 3104, 3004, or other 3xxx aluminium alloy) and can ends (e.g., 5182 or other 5xxx aluminium alloy). Due to the content of Mg and Mn, the composition of the alloy of the invention is particularly well suited to recycle UBC scrap.
- the recycled scrap melted in the method of the invention contains more than about 50 wt.%, about 60 wt.%, about 70 wt.%, about 80 wt.%, about 90 wt.%, about 91 wt.%, about 92 wt.%, about 93 wt.%, about 94 wt.%, about 95 wt.%, about 96 wt.%, about 97 wt.%, about 98 wt.%, or about 99 wt.% UBC scrap.
- Adding primary aluminium reduces the amount of recycled content and raises the costs and greenhouse effect gas emissions, as primary aluminium is more expensive to produce and generates more greenhouse effect gas emissions than recycled scrap. Therefore, a trade-off is often made between processing the recycled scrap and adding primary aluminium.
- recycled scrap can be used with little or no purification and little or no addition of primary aluminium and optional hardeners.
- the ingot thickness is preferably at least 250 mm, or at least 350 mm and preferentially a very thick gauge ingot with a thickness of at least 400 mm, or even at least 500 mm or 600 mm in order to improve the productivity of the process.
- the ingot is from 1000 to 2000 mm in width and 2000 to 8000 mm in length.
- the ingot is scalped.
- the ingot is then pre-heated, typically at a temperature from 440°C to 550°C, and hot rolled in order to obtain a sheet having a thickness of typically from 2 to 12 mm.
- the sheet is hot rolled in two successive steps, for example with a first hot rolling step on a reversible rolling mill, also known as roughing mill, up to a thickness of typically from 12 to 40 mm and a second hot rolling step on a tandem mill, also known as finishing mill, up to a thickness of typically from 2 to 12 mm.
- a tandem mill is a rolling mill in which several cages supporting rolling mill rolls, typically 2, 3, 4 or 5 act successively ("in tandem").
- rough hot rolling on the reversible mill is done with a rough hot rolling entry temperature of more than 440°C and preferably more than 460°C.
- the first step on a reversible mill can be carried out on one or even two reversible mills placed successively.
- the final temperature which is the hot rolling exit temperature should be at least 300°C, and preferably at least 330°C so that preferably the hot rolled sheet obtained after finish hot rolling exhibits a volume fraction of recrystallized grains of at least 50% and preferably at least 80%.
- Cold rolling is realized directly after the hot rolling step to further reduce the thickness of the aluminium sheets.
- annealing after hot rolling or during cold rolling is optional, because this step seems not necessary to obtain sufficient strength, formability, surface quality and corrosion resistance.
- no annealing after hot rolling or during cold rolling is carried out.
- the sheet directly obtained after cold rolling is referred to as the cold rolled sheet.
- the cold rolled sheet thickness is typically from 0.15 to 0.30 mm and preferably from 0.18 to 0,23 mm.
- the cold rolling reduction is at least 80%, or at least 85%.
- the cold rolled sheet is coated.
- the cold rolled sheet is cleaned and chemically treated, optionally dried in an oven, optionally primed, coated, and thermally (oven) cured to form a coated sheet.
- the cold rolled sheet is cleaned and chemically treated, coated with a suitable (e.g., food-grade) electron beam (“EB”) and/or ultraviolet (“UV”) curable coating composition, and EB or UV cured to form a coated sheet.
- EB electron beam
- UV ultraviolet
- the coating is a BPA-Free or BPA-NI (Bisphenol-A Free or Bisphenol-A Non-Intent) coating or a laminate.
- the products of the invention after simulation of baking of coating at 205°C for 20 min have preferably a Tensile Yield Strength (TYS) in the Long Transverse (LT) direction, from 320 MPa to 380 MPa and preferably from 320 MPa to 360 MPa.
- TLS Tensile Yield Strength
- Formability is the capacity of a sheet to be formed under a specific shape. Formability is in particular linked to the tensile yield strength (TYS or Rp0.2): as the TYS increases, the formability generally decreases.
- the TYS of the sheet according to the present invention is less than or equal to 380 MPa, preferably less than or equal to 360 MPa in H48 temper or after a heat treatment at 205°C for 20 minutes simulating the baking of coating and giving mechanical properties similar to the mechanical properties in H48 temper.
- the TYS of the sheet according to the present invention is more than or equal to 320 MPa in H48 temper or after a heat treatment at 205°C for 20 minutes simulating the baking of coating. This minimal TYS allows to obtain sufficient strength and to resist to internal pressure.
- the products of the invention are in a FI4X metallurgical temper as defined by European standards EN 515 (April 2017) and EN 541 (May 2007).
- FI4X metallurgical temper
- FI4X is the temper of materials obtained after work hardening and coating, during which a certain level of restoration may happen.
- a preferred temper is the H48 temper which is assigned to the hardest FI4X tempers normally produced. The H48 mechanical properties may be obtained from the cold rolled sheet in H 18 or H 19 temper after simulation of baking of coating at 205°C for 20 min.
- the H48 metallurgical temper guarantees shaping of the metal to fabricate can ends for beverage cans.
