Overview

Mathematical modelling and computational analyses allow to deepen the understanding of manufacturing processes, to ensure high quality of AMAG`s products and to reduce experimental efforts for the improvement of product properties and production processes.

In addition to density, strength, fracture mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, the stiffness of the material plays a crucial role in the component design, particularly in case of lightweight construction.

Exterior body materials for automotive applications must meet high standards across various disciplines, including surface quality, corrosion resistance, weldability, adhesive bonding capability, and strength.

In recent years, digitalization has become increasingly relevant in the industrial sector, including at AMAG. This is driven by growing demand for higher-quality products, greater sustainability, optimized processes and reduced energy consumption. Companies that seize on these opportunities and systematically implement corresponding measures at an early stage are in a position to make their production processes more efficient, more sustainable and, therefore, more competitive.

Aluminium alloys are indispensable in space technology. Their excellent mechanical properties combined with low weight make them a preferred material for structural components, tanks, modules, and other key elements in both manned and unmanned space missions.

The AMAG CrossAlloy® initiative aims to develop pioneering aluminum alloys with high sustainability and performance standards. This article focuses on CrossAlloy®.57, which exhibits outstanding strength and ductility properties thanks to long-term aging (LTA) in the low temperature range.

It is far easier to generate electricity from renewables than it is to produce other renewable energy vectors such as hydrogen (H₂) and biomethane.

Aluminum is a cornerstone of modern engineering, offering unmatched lightweight properties, high recyclability, and versatility across industries.

In the first article on recycled cast alloys for aluminium wheels, published back in AluReport 2/2022, we described in detail how aluminium is one of the most significant materials for durable and sustainable components in automotive construction.

Approaches to tackling decarbonization by increasing scrap utilization and switching to renewable energy sources influence the entire process chain for producing sheets and plates.
