By Massimiliano Saltori, European Science Communication Institute There are ambitious plans for the future of sustainable mobility in the European Union. On June 8th, the European Parliament voted to stop producing CO2-emitting vehicles by 2035.
. In total SALEMA will develop five case studies using different aluminium car parts: the shock tower, the frontal frame, the B pillars, the battery box, and the body in white.
To achieve this the manufacturing chain will inevitably need to evolve. “Aluminium has always been recycled, but mostly to produce low-quality components: medium mechanical requirements and mainly castings,” explains Manuel da Silva, manager at theTechnology Centre, a world-renowned R&D centre in southern Europe and another of SALEMA’s partners. “We are now planning to develop alloys for stamping, extrusion and die casting — which, until now, had to be made with primary aluminium.
EURECAT will conduct primary research to develop partially recycled alloys while at the same time helping aluminium producers adapt their manufacturing processes to these changes. New alloys with low CRM content such as silicon and magnesium will also be used to prevent resource waste.explains, “SALEMA is betting on two different ways to replace these elements: one is recycling scrap aluminium, extracting the CRMs already present in it.
By the end of the project in 2024, SALEMA’s partners will evaluate these newly developed alloys based on their performance. In doing so they will identify the most promising processes for rapid market uptake.If successful and popular among European car manufacturers, this could lead to a more innovative EV production approach, giving the EU a solid position in this crucial industry.Aluminium parts being manufactured with high pressure die casting in the facilities of ENDURANCE .
