VEHICLE INCLUDING RECYCLABLE CAST ALUMINUM ALLOY COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ALUMINUM ALLOY COMPONENTS FROM RECYCLED VEHICLE COMPONENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17873740 titled 'VEHICLE INCLUDING RECYCLABLE CAST ALUMINUM ALLOY COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ALUMINUM ALLOY COMPONENTS FROM RECYCLED VEHICLE COMPONENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is about a vehicle that uses recyclable cast aluminum alloy components for its body and chassis.
- The recyclable cast aluminum alloy components have specific compositions, including silicon, magnesium, iron, manganese, and aluminum.
- These components can be melted and cast to create recycled aluminum alloy components.
- The recyclable cast aluminum alloy components make up a significant portion of the recycled aluminum alloy component, ranging from 70% to 90% by mass.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle including recyclable cast aluminum alloy components. The recyclable cast aluminum alloy components include a vehicle body component and a vehicle chassis component. In combination, the recyclable cast aluminum alloy components include, by mass: silicon in an amount greater than or equal to about 6% to less than or equal to about 11%, magnesium in an amount less than or equal to about 0.5%, iron in an amount greater than or equal to about 0.15% to less than or equal to about 0.25%, manganese in an amount less than or equal to about 0.3%, and greater than or equal to about 88% aluminum. A recycled aluminum alloy component may be cast from a melt of the recyclable cast aluminum alloy components. The recyclable cast aluminum alloy components account for, by mass, greater than or equal to about 70%, about 80%, or about 90% of the recycled aluminum alloy component.
