Recyclability To Be The Catch?

“Aluminum Recyclability to Boost Sustainability Trend and Enhance Cost Savings”

Aluminum and its alloys are highly recyclable metals that could be easily used for the preparation of several specific alloys, and there are claims that the practice of recycling aluminum allows to reduce pollution and contributes to saving electrical energy as compared to the primary aluminum obtaining process.

Recycling is a core business operation of the aluminum industry. For instance, in the United States and Canada, the industry recycles more than 5 million tons of aluminum each year, most of which goes back directly into the North American supply chain. As refurbishing aluminum is 92% more energy efficient than extracting aluminum, the practice is both - a business and environmental win for the industry.

Furthermore, aluminum recycling is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminum through the electrolysis of aluminum oxide, which must first be mined from bauxite ore and then refined. Making aluminum foams entirely from scrap is attractive due to cost savings offered by a low-cost matrix and the potential for eliminating expensive and foam-stabilizing additives.

Construction And Interior Decoration To Drive The Growth?

“Rising Adoption of Aluminum Foams for Construction and Interior Decoration to Boost Market Growth”

Ease of fabrication and tooling of aluminum lead to the preference for aluminum foams in the construction of complex infrastructures. Furthermore, aluminum foams are not only used for exterior or structural purposes, but also readily used for interior designing.

It is used for facades, wall cladding, ceiling tiles or dropped ceilings, restaurants, bars, offices, apartment buildings, showroom displays, Terrazzo flooring, signage, lighting fixtures, and exhibits. Aluminum foam creates strong yet lightweight panels. Similar in appearance to a metallic sponge, it is visually striking, with a modern dramatic look.

In the construction industry, design for efficiency is taking into account the principles of lightweight material and structure. Especially, sandwich panels with aluminum foam core are of high interest. The high rigidity with low weight and high resistance to fire are the major advantages of these panels. Also, semi-finished materials shield electromagnetic waves and show extensive reduction in vibration and sound insulation.

Aluminum foam semi-finished parts in the form of sandwich panels are preferably used for decorative purposes and acoustic insulation - mostly as facade- and wall elements. Aluminum foam has high potential for balcony units as well. Conventional solutions with balcony plates are very heavy and require a high transportation- and installation effort. Especially for the application - retrofitting / rehabilitating of balconies.

"The Aluminum Foam market is seeing impressive growth due to its lightweight, durable, and energy-absorbing properties. Widely used in automotive, construction, and aerospace industries, its demand is set to rise with advancements in manufacturing processes." Says Lead Consultant Ismail Sutaria in Packaging at Future Market Insights (FMI).

How About Lightweight Aluminum Foam Structures For Ships?

“Lightweight Aluminum Foam Structures for Ships to boost the Market”

Lightweight materials with high stiffness are often desired for various applications. Aluminum foam is a promising product for structural applications and is already in the market.

The ship building industry is considering metal foam applications concerning weight reduction and distribution, to keep upper structures as light as possible, to increase ship stability, and as a consequence, to increase ship load capacity. Foaming aluminum expands like a sponge and bonds to steel. This could cut the weight of cargo ships by as much as 30%, reducing their fuel consumption and emissions.

Lightweight ships mean more payload, less trips, and therefore less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This is one of the major advantages for the shipping companies. Researchers from Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology in Chemnitz, Germany, experimented with an aluminum powder that foams when heated up.

The tests proved the stiffness of the material, which when put under high stress, doesn’t break but only deforms. The advantage as per researchers was - a ship hull can travel through Northern Europe all year round withstanding the ice sheets. This is likely to increase the demand for aluminum foam in the shipping industry.
