Aluminium Scrap Recycling & Remelting (Feb. 2026)
Tuesday 3rd Feb. 2026, starting at 14:00 (UK time), and weekly until 10th March 2026
This course comprises 6 weekly sessions, covering scrap processing, melting practices and dross processing. The course includes coated scrap processing, key melting metrics (metal rate, melt loss and energy efficiency), the causes of dross formation, and the options for dross processing. Each session will consist of a seminar and an associated workshop.
The course can be attended as a standalone course or seen as the first in a trilogy of related courses. It will be followed later in 2026 by Molten Metal Treatment, and then DC Casting.
