Aluminum impact extruded bottle with threaded neck made from recycled aluminum and enhanced alloys

A method of impact extruding and threading a neck portion of a metallic bottle formed of a recycled aluminum alloy, comprising:

• providing scrap aluminum material;
• melting said scrap aluminum material with a 1070 aluminum alloy to form said recycled aluminum alloy, wherein said recycled aluminum alloy comprises:
• between 97.70 wt. % aluminum and 98.50 wt. % aluminum,
• between 0.16 wt. % Si and 0.24 wt. % Si,
• between 0.37 wt. % Fe and 0.48 wt. % Fe,
• between 0.08 wt. % Cu and 0.15 wt. % Cu,
• between 0.48 wt. % Mn and 0.71 wt. % Mn,
• between 0.34 wt. % Mg and 0.52 wt. % Mg,
• between 0.06 wt. % Zn and 0.12 wt. % Zn,
• between 0.01 wt. % Cr and 0.04 wt. % Cr, and
• between 0.00 wt. % Ti and 0.04 wt. % Ti;
• casting said recycled aluminum alloy into a slab;
• rolling said slab to a specified thickness;
• cooling said slab at an ambient temperature of between about 59° F. to about 122° F.;
• punching slugs from said cooled slab;
• annealing said slugs, wherein a peak temperature of said slugs is between about 842° F. to about 1058° F.;
• impact extruding the annealed slug to form an extruded tube;
• forming a bottom dome portion on said extruded tube;
• necking said extruded tube to form said metallic bottle, said metallic bottle having said bottom dome portion, a body portion, said neck portion extending upwardly from said body portion, and an opening positioned on an uppermost portion of said neck portion;
• trimming at least a portion of said uppermost portion of said neck portion;
• and
• forming threads in said neck portion of said metallic bottle, said threads adapted to threadably engage a closure after said metallic bottle has been filled with a beverage, and wherein said metallic bottle is capable of withstanding an interior pressure after being filled and sealed with said closure.

A method of forming a metallic bottle for a beverage in an impact extrusion process, comprising:

• melting scrap aluminum material with a 1070 aluminum alloy to form a recycled aluminum alloy that comprises:
• between 97.70 wt. % aluminum and 98.50 wt. % aluminum,
• between 0.16 wt. % Si and 0.24 wt. % Si,
• between 0.37 wt. % Fe and 0.48 wt. % Fe,
• between 0.08 wt. % Cu and 0.15 wt. % Cu,
• between 0.48 wt. % Mn and 0.71 wt. % Mn,
• between 0.34 wt. % Mg and 0.52 wt. % Mg,
• between 0.06 wt. % Zn and 0.12 wt. % Zn,
• between 0.01 wt. % Cr and 0.04 wt. % Cr, and
• between 0.00 wt. % Ti and 0.04 wt. % Ti;
• forming a slug with the recycled aluminum alloy;
• deforming the slug into a preferred shape in an impact extrusion process to form the metallic bottle;
• and
• forming threads on a neck portion of the metallic bottle, the threads configured to receive a threaded closure which can be selectively opened and closed after the metallic bottle is filled with the beverage.
