Metef Arena – Hall 32
Aluminum is increasingly becoming a strategic material in terms of sustainability. Its lightweight design is essential for minimizing consumption in the automotive sector, and it is one of the materials that can be most effectively recycled.
To fully harness its potential, continuous improvement in processes and technologies is key.
This seminar will provide an overview of the critical role played by Italian companies in this field and will illustrate the history of the Salema Project focusing particularly on its industrial and sustainability impacts.
Organized by
SALEMA: A European Project on Aluminum Recycling Turned into Industrial Application
SALEMA is a European Union-funded project designed to produce new aluminum alloys with a minimal content of critical raw materials, maximizing the potential of recycled alloys.
The project has developed new alloy design methodologies, created high-performance alloys from scrap, and applied them in the automotive sector.
