Lanthanum-Light Metal Alloys Production Using Secondary Resources—Thermodynamic Analysis

Rare-earth-elements (REE)Rare-earth-elements (REE) can be used as alloying agents to improve the properties of aluminumAluminum alloys. REE are often added in the metallic form to produce the alloys, but the high cost of REE metals makes the alloys expensive thus limiting their application. An alternative way to make REE-Al alloys is by reacting REERare-earth-elements (REE) oxides with light metals. For this route, secondary light-metal …
