Description

The silicon aluminum alloy produced from this process is typically utilized in the automotive and aerospace industries due to its enhanced material properties such as lightweight and high thermal conductivity. This alloy may also find applications in the construction industry, for structural components where strength-to-weight ratio is a critical factor. Users of this data set should take into account that the silicon aluminum alloy production process is based on recycling old aluminum scrap and the literature referenced was published in March, 2012. This may affect the environmental impact assessment depending on technological advancements and changes in recycling practices since publication. It is advisable to validate the relevancy of the data with current manufacturing processes and recycling rates before application in Life Cycle Assessment.
