    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-Ni-Mn alloys are attractive for high-temperature, corrosive environment due to the formation of stable intermetallic compounds that can reduce corrosion susceptibility. This study showed that the additions of Mn, Sc, and Zr in Al-4 % Ni alloys significantly enhanced hardness and thermal stability through the simultaneous effect of transformation of the Al + Al<inf>3</inf>Ni to Al + Al<inf>9</inf>(Ni, Mn)<inf>2</inf> eutectic and precipitation of Al<inf>3</inf>(Sc, Zr). The thermal stability of an Al-4 % Ni-1 % Mn alloy was very good when exposed to 350 °C for 60 h. Additionally, the hardness substantially increased in an Al-4 % Ni-1 % Mn alloy with the addition of Sc and Zr, showing an approximate increase of 30 %. The highest hardness achieved was approximately 50 % higher with the optimal Sc and Zr content as compared to the Al-4Ni-1Mn alloy. Addition of 1 % Mn to an Al-4 % Ni alloy decreased the current density (I<inf>corr</inf>) and increased the corrosion potential (E<inf>corr</inf>), indicating better corrosion resistance. The effects of Sc and Zr additions on corrosion were also investigated, revealing that the increased Sc and Zr content led to more aggressive corrosion in the as-cast condition due to the eutectic coarsening and a high solid solution concentration of Sc and Zr that led to microstructural instability and electrochemical effects. However, after aging at 350 °C, the corrosion resistance significantly improved due to the Al<inf>3</inf>(Sc, Zr) precipitates that interrupted the corrosion path.
