Like the aluminum beverage can packaging sector, the automotive manufacturing industry is also one of the largest consumers of aluminum.
Since cars and other transportation vehicles are large durable consumer goods that are easy to recycle after scrapping, the recycling rate of cars is high among all aluminum applications.
There are two main types of aluminum alloy materials used in cans, and their compositions are relatively similar. The problems that need to be solved in the recycling process are relatively simple.
The automotive industry uses a wide variety of aluminum, for example, engines and heat exchangers. After the aluminum is recycled, it is still used in casting, and the processing method is relatively simple.
Later, the types of aluminum used in automobiles became many, resulting in a large amount of scrap aluminum generated in the automobile manufacturing and consumption fields, which became an important production resource for the recycled aluminum industry.
Moreover, the varieties of aluminum alloys are very complex, which poses greater challenges to recycling processing technology.
