Recycled Aluminum Products
Recycled products—unlike men—are not all created equal. Some boast 100 percent recycled content, while others contain only traces of recycled material. Some are made from post-consumer recycled content, while others are fabricated from post-industrial content.

Degassing of Aluminum Alloys Using Ultrasonic Vibration
During the solidification of aluminum alloys, dissolved hydrogen creates porosity that, left unchecked, is detrimental to the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy castings, heavy section plates, and forgings. Degassing is the most effective, most commonly used method to reduce porosity.
