| Abstract: | Titanium is common in recycled aluminium alloys but limited in high-strength variants containing Zr and Cr. This study shows that Ti increases the liquidus temperature and promotes the formation of Al3Ti-(Al,Si)3(Ti,Zr) core–shell intermetallics. Zr and Si absorption reduces hardness and enhances the plasticity of Al3Ti intermetallic. Ti addition improved extruded profile bending performance due to a reduced peripheral coarse grain depth, while cracks propagated via voids at Fe-intermetallics rather than Ti-intermetallics. |
