At present, recycled aluminium is "diluted" by primary metal to keep the impurity concentrations at acceptable levels. Future increase in recycling will require a new process for efficient removal of all impurities, including noble elements, from secondary aluminium. In the current preliminary...

During sawing of silicon wafers for the photovoltaic industry, the variations in temperature will influence the process performance and surface quality of the wafers. To investigate the significance of this effect, the temperature field and heat transfer have been studied experimentally and...
