    This paper focuses on the effects of using recycled aluminum beverage cans and ultrasonic melt processing (USP) on the microstructure and properties of a hypereutectic Al-Fe alloy that has potential in structural and electric applications. The proportion of recycled aluminum scrap used as the starting material varied, and its influence on grain refinement, intermetallic phase formation, precipitation hardening, and mechanical performance was examined. Ultrasonic melt processing (USP) was applied to refine the microstructure and improve phase distribution. The experimental results showed that both the addition of recycled aluminum scrap and USP significantly increased the hardness and tensile strength of the alloys, with further improvements observed after optimal aging treatments, although ductility slightly decreased. Additionally, the presence of alloying elements from the recycled scrap, such as Mg, Mn, Si, and Cu, led to a reduction in electrical conductivity while improving the precipitation hardening response. This study highlights the potential of using recycled materials and advanced processing techniques to develop sustainable, high-performance aluminum alloys for various industrial applications.

    Al–Fe–Ni eutectic alloys have high potential for being alternative aluminum alloys for various electronic and electrical applications instead of conventional low-conductivity Al casting alloys. Furthermore, the addition of Zr and Sc up to 0.3–0.6 wt% improves the hardness for high temperature applications, which is a result of the finer Al–Fe–Ni eutectic structure, and precipitation hardening of Al<inf>3</inf>Zr and/or Al<inf>3</inf>Sc nanoprecipitates. Thus, the aim of the present contribution is to analyze the microstructure features changes in an Al-1.75Fe–1.25Ni eutectic alloy upon different cooling rates during solidification. The features of Al–Fe–Ni eutectics and intermetallics were studied quantitatively, and the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity were measured.
