number of lithium-containing aluminum alloys. These alloys have an especially high
modulus of elasticity and are increasingly used in aircraft construction to save weight
without sacricing stiffness. Lithium is also added to some 2xxx alloys. The recycling of
lithium-containing alloys is a particular challenge, since the value of the lithium contained
in these parts recommends closed-loop recycling into the same alloy if at all possible.
As previously suggested, the difculty in recycling wrought aluminum alloys is
the problem of tolerance, the ability of an alloy to absorb elements not normally
