Deep learning computer vision for the separation of Cast- and Wrought-Aluminum scrap KU Leuven
In consequence of the electrification and the increased adoption of lightweight structures in the automotive industry, global demand for wrought Aluminum (Al) is expected to rise while demand for cast Al will stagnate. Since cast alloys can only be converted to wrought alloys by energy-intensive processes, the most promising strategy to avoid the emergence of excess Al cast alloys scrap is to sort cast from wrought alloys. To date, the ...
