Claim:
1. A process for manufacturing a shaped container adapted to receive an end closure from a slug in an impact extrusion manufacturing process using recycled scrap materials, comprising: providing a scrap metal comprised of at least one of a 3104, a 3004, a 3003, a 3103, 3013 and a 3105 aluminum alloy; blending said at least one of said 3104, said 3004, said 3003, said 3013, said 3103, and said 3105 aluminum alloy with a prime aluminum alloy to create a recycled aluminum alloy; adding a titanium boride material to said recycled aluminum alloy; casting said recycled aluminum alloy to form a slab with a thickness of between about 28 mm and 35 mm; hot rolling the slab to reduce the thickness of the slab to between about 6 mm and about 18 mm and produce a hot milled slab; cold rolling the hot milled slab to reduce a thickness of the hot milled slap to between about 3 mm and about 14 mm to produce a milled slab; punching the milled slab to create a slug from the milled slab; and deforming said slug comprised of said recycled aluminum alloy into a preferred shape in an impact extrusion process to form a shaped container adapted to receive an end closure.
