Recycling of Aluminum from Fibre Metal Laminates

Recycling of aluminum alloy scrap obtained from delaminated fibre metal laminates (FMLs) was studied through high temperature refining in the presence of a salt flux. The aluminum alloy scrap contains approximately mass fraction w(Cu) = 4.4%, w(Mg) = 1.1% and w(Mn) = 0.6% (2024 aluminum alloy). The main objective of this research is to obtain a...

Degradation Behavior of Epoxy Resins in Fibre Metal Laminates Under Thermal Conditions

GLARE (glass fibre/epoxy reinforced aluminum laminate) is a member of the fiber metal laminate (FML) family, and is built up of alternating metal and fiber layers. About 500m2 GLARE is employed in each Airbus A380 because of the superior mechanical properties over the monolithic aluminum alloys, such as weight reduction, improved damage...

Advances in studying of recycled aggregate concrete in China

Abstract only. - This report firstly presents the current state of construction and demolition (C&D) waste generation in PR China. It is found that the composition of C&D waste in mainland China is much different from other countries, leading to some difficult on the aspect of waste concrete recycling. As a result, in China, some reclamation...

Research on Recycling of Phosphorus Tailings Powder in Open-Graded Friction Course Asphalt Concrete

The reuse in high-value materials is one of the important resource utilization approaches of phosphorus tailings. At present, a mature technical system has been formed on the reuse of phosphorus slag in building materials, and silicon fertilizers in the extraction of yellow phosphorus. But there is a lack of research on the high-value reuse...

An Energy-Efficient High-Voltage Pulser for High-Frequency Ultrasound Medical Applications

Emerging ultrasound (US) biomedical applications, from battery-powered US imaging to US neuromodulation, demand wearable form factor and power-efficient US transmitters. Fulfilling these specifications demands a high-frequency and power-efficient 2D US phased-array transmitter directly integrated with the ASIC. In such systems, pulsers are the...
