| Abstract | The PhD project aims at understanding and modeling the damage mechanisms operating in recycled aluminium alloys when loaded in plane strain mode. .Recycling aluminium allows both energy savings and a drastic reduction of GHG emissions, because only 5% of the energy required for primary synthesis (ore reduction) is needed to remelt aluminium scrap. In comparison with reference alloys currently used in transport and packaging sectors, these alloys have a higher content in impurities, especially iron, which often leads to decreasing mechanical performance. Its main objective is to predict the impact of microstructural features related to intermetallic particles (size, morphology, nature, spatial distribution) and their environment (matrixÂ’ hardness, crystallographic orientations of grains) on ductility and formability by combining in-situ 3D synchrotron characterizations at different resolutions and multi-scale simulations. |
