PERFORMANCE AND COST ANALYSIS OF ADC-12 ALUMINIUM ALLOY ON DIFFERENT FURNACES

Aluminium is extracted from the chief ore bauxite because of its abundance in nature, but the gas emissions produced by the process has made researchers and industrialists to look for alternatives. Since then the aluminium has been reprocessed and have been accessible in the secondary form with similar characteristics from its antecedent. A lot of recycling methods have been followed, this research work would give a detailed account of the properties of ADC – 12 aluminium ingots from different types of furnaces like Electric furnace, Oil furnace, Gas Furnace and Pit furnace, and compare the ADC – 12 aluminium ingot's composition. The recycling efficiency of the furnaces, and Its costs were analysed and compared to each other to determine the best furnace that is appropriate for startup industries
