Speira launches CORIS high-purity aluminium range with purity levels of up to 99.9999%
German aluminium producer Speira has launched CORIS, a new product label for high-purity aluminium designed for advanced technology applications, including semiconductors, electronics, aerospace, medical technology and electrification. The CORIS range covers aluminium purity levels from 99.9% (3N) to 99.9999% or higher (6N+). Speira said the products are designed to meet the growing demand for materials with high electrical and thermal conductivity, precision and reliability. The company controls trace elements at parts-per-million (ppm) levels to maintain consistent material quality and performance. High-purity aluminium is used in applications where even small amounts of impurities can affect the material's properties. Join the fourth edition of webinar " Hedging for recyclers - Become...
Enova supports development of zero-emission aluminium technology with NOK 82 million
Enova, a state enterprise owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, has awarded Hydro close to NOK 82 million for a feasibility study for the next phase in the development of HalZero, Hydro’s technology for aluminium production with net-zero CO2 emissions. The funding from Enova will be used for concept development and planning of an industrial pilot facility (Industrial Concept Pilot, ICP), laying the foundation for further development and scaling of the technology. “The support from Enova enables us to further develop the plans for the next phase of HalZero. This is an important step in developing and scaling the technology toward potential deployment at industrial scale,” says Hanne Simensen, Executive Vice President of Hydro Aluminium Metal. HalZero is Hydro’s...
AI model identifies electrolyte conditions to reduce aluminium corrosion in batteries
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an artificial intelligence-based framework to analyse aluminium corrosion and identify electrolyte conditions that could improve the performance of aluminium-air batteries. Aluminium-air batteries have attracted interest as a potential energy source for electric vehicles because aluminium is abundant, recyclable and relatively inexpensive. However, corrosion of the aluminium anode in alkaline electrolytes remains a major challenge, as it wastes active material, generates hydrogen gas and affects battery reliability. Published in Frontiers in Batteries and Electrochemistry , the study examined how a commercial aluminium-magnesium-silicon (Al-Mg-Si) alloy corrodes in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions at...
Speira bringt CORIS an den Start
Speira erweitert sein Portfolio an fortschrittlichen Aluminiumlösungen mit der Einführung von CORIS, seiner neuen Marke für hochreine Aluminiumprodukte. CORIS wurde für Branchen entwickelt, in denen die Leistungsfähigkeit von Werkstoffen bereits auf atomarer Ebene beginnt, und vereint außergewöhnliche Reinheit, maßgeschneiderte Legierungszusammensetzungen und integriertes Verarbeitungs-Know-how, um anspruchsvolle Anwendungen zu unterstützen – von Halbleitern und Elektronik bis hin zur Luft- und Raumfahrt, Medizintechnik und Elektrifizierung. Hochreines Aluminium spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Ermöglichung moderner Technologien. Da die Industrie immer höhere Anforderungen an Leitfähigkeit, Wärmeleistung, Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit stellt, reichen herkömmliche...
AL Circle Analysis: US scrap imports hit 580kt as China slips 3.2%, who drives aluminium recycling?
Aluminium scrap is no longer a side story in the metal’s market. Rather, aluminium’s next standoff is over scrap. As US imports surge 37 per cent while China’s purchases decline, manufacturers in Europe and India are confronting a common challenge of securing affordable, reliable raw materials. With recycling rates, trade barriers and low-carbon production reshaping market, the global industry faces a critical question: who will control the metal that powers its circular future? Join the fourth edition of the webinar "Hedging for recyclers - Become an expert in 6 hours" by Jorge Dyszel. A 1.1-billion-tonne stockpile: US stocks up, China steps back, India asks for access The US imported 580,000 tonnes of aluminium scrap worth USD 2.07 billion in H1 2026 , with Canada accounting for 63.62...
