A systemic study for enhanced waste heat recovery and renewable energy integration towards decarbonizing the aluminium industry
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Réginald Germanier
The aluminium remelting industry relies on natural gas to transform recycled aluminium into aluminium feedstock, entailing significant atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also affected as they are used as sinks of waste heat from the casting proces ...

2023On the bulk compressibility of close-packed particles and their composites
Andreas Mortensen, Maria Gabriella Tarantino
The hydrostatic compaction of composites comprising a closely-packed particle-bed filled by a dense matrix is measured experimentally using a fluid-pressurization apparatus. A highly compliant polymer or pure aluminium are infiltrated into preforms of pack ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Surface energy contributions to the work of infiltration in metal matrix composite processing
Andreas Mortensen, Gionata Schneider
The work needed to mechanically drive molten metal into a porous solid preform when producing a composite material by infiltration can significantly exceed the energy change required for thermodynamically reversible infiltration. We measure, by quantitativ ...
2021Mn-Cu Transmetalation as a Strategy for the Assembly of Decoupled Metal-Organic Networks on Sn/Cu(001) Surface Alloys
Surface alloying of Cu(001) by Sn deposition is a finely controllable method of tuning the degree of copper reactivity in order to drive the on-surface assembly and synthesis of metal-organic coordination networks. In this work we show that the (3 root 2 x ...
2020Influence of thermo-mechanical processing on ordering kinetics in 18 karat red gold alloy
The aim of this project is to understand the correlation between alloy composition and the build-up of internal stresses in 18 carat Au-Ag-Cu alloys under thermo-mechanical loads. The copper rich end of this ternary system exhibits order-hardening of the e ...
EPFL2020Méthodes numériques liées à la distribution d'alumine dans une cuve d'électrolyse d'aluminium
Metallic aluminium plays a key role in our modern economy. Primary
metallic aluminium is produced by the transformation of aluminium
oxide using the Hall-Héroult industrial process. This process, which
requires enormous quantities of energy, consists in pe ...
EPFL201920 Hz X-ray tomography during an in situ tensile test
This paper describes an in-situ tensile test in synchrotron tomography achieved for the first time with a frequency of 20 tomograms per second (20 Hz acquisition frequency). This allows us to capture rapid material fracture processes, such as that of a met ...
