Aluminum is currently in greater demand in the transportation sector. This is the result of efforts to make the car more lightweight and reduction in production cost. The main forces behind the continued development of less expensive, unique, and imaginative materials are the dynamics and competition in the transportation sector. In this study, investigated the mechanical and structural properties of aluminium alloys produced from recycled beverage cans. According to the type of alloy, three different alloys were produced by recycling beverage cans. Both the first alloy and the second alloy were produced by recycling the alloy used to produce the can lid (CCO) and the can body (CBO), respectively. the third alloy, were produced by combined the can body and cover (CCM) alloys together. At 300 oC, the alloys were treated for one hour. The ratios of the alloys in atomic percentage were calculated using the EDS data from multiple points for each alloy. It was found that these alloys contain the highest percentage of aluminum of other metals. By analysis the X-ray diffractogram of alloys, it’s found the (α- Al) is high peak in all alloys were produced in thes work. Besides that, The secondary peaks of these alloys are Al2Mg and Al2Mn. In addition to primary and secondary peaks, the alloys also contain other peaks. CCO and CBO alloys have the low hardness values, whereas the CCM alloy had the highest hardness values.
