Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new aluminum alloy called RidgeAlloy that can turn contaminated car-body scrap into strong structural vehicle parts. Normally, impurities ...

For the vast majority of automotive history, cars, trucks, and SUVs alike have all sported steel bodies. Other than being ...

This automotive part was manufactured from RidgeAlloy, a new structural alloy developed by researchers at ORNL. It was cast using metals recycled entirely from post-consumer aluminum auto body sheets.

A wave of aluminum auto body scrap is set to enter salvage systems over the next decade. This scrap is often too impure to safely be reused in new critical automotive parts, limiting its value. That's ...
