Recycled Al alloys not only offer environmental and economic benefits but also present a valuable base for the development of innovative materials, such as Al-Ni-Fe alloys. This work particularly focuses on the microstructural changes and hardness of an Al-5Ni-1Fe alloy (wt.%) solidified with an app...
