Impact extruded containers from recycled aluminum scrap

An aluminum alloy slug, comprising:

• a thickness of between about 3 millimeters (mm) and about 14 mm, wherein the aluminum alloy slug is adapted for use in an impact extrusion process to form a metallic container,
• wherein the aluminum alloy slug is formed of an aluminum alloy with a composition comprising:
• at least 97.84 wt. % Al and no more than 99.31 wt. % Al;
• at least 0.10 wt. % Si and no more than 0.18 wt. % Si;
• at least 0.25 wt. % Fe and no more than 0.44 wt. % Fe;
• at least 0.18 wt. % Mn and no more than 0.61 wt. % Mn;
• at least 0.05 wt. % Mg and no more than 0.17 wt. % Mg;
• at least 0.03 wt. % Zn and no more than 0.09 wt. % Zn;
• at least 0.02 wt. % Cr and no more than 0.10 wt. % Cr;
• about 0.01 wt. % Ti;
• and
• the balance in impurities, and
• wherein the aluminum alloy is formed by mixing between 20 and 60 wt. % of a recycled aluminum material with a prime aluminum material.
