Modern forming processes often allow today the efficient production of complex parts. In order to increase the sustainability of forming processes it would be favorable if the forming of workpieces becomes possible using production waste. At the Chair of Forming and Machining Technology of the Paderborn University (LUF) research is presently conducted with the overall goal to produce workpieces directly from secondary aluminum (e.g., powder and chips). Therefore, friction-based forming processes like friction spinning (or cognate processes) are used due to their high efficiency. As a pre-step, the production of semi-finished parts was the subject of accorded research work at the LUF. Therefore, a friction-based hot extrusion process was used for the full recycling or rework of aluminum chips into profiles. Investigations of the recycled semi-finished products show that they are comparable to conventionally produced semi-finished products in terms of dimensional stability and shape accuracy. An analysis of the mechanical properties of hardness and tensile strength shows that a final product with good and homogeneously distributed properties can be produced. Furthermore, significant correlations to the friction spinning process could be found that are useful for the above-mentioned direct part production from secondary aluminum.

Produced Profiles by direct recycling of aluminum chips in hot extrusion process were achieved by temperature related parameters using preheating temperature 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C for duration 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours preheating time. By using Design of Experiments (DOE) procedure with full factorial design and three center points analysis, the results showed that the preheating temperature factor is more important to be controlled rather than the preheating duration and increase of temperature conducted to the high tensile strength. The profiles extruded at 550 °C and 3 hours’ duration had obtained the optimum condition to get the maximum tensile strength. The influence of parameters of hot extrusion process on fracture surfaces of the recycled samples was also investigated and discussed.

In this work, the re-use of aluminum AA6061 chips and fly ash particles by solid-state processes (cryomilling, cold compaction and hot extrusion) is presented. The process was performed in following steps: comminuting of chips, cryomilling of comminuted chips, aluminum powders and fly ash particles, cold pressing-hot extrusion approach without sintering step. Comparative analysis of the recycled composites with fine and coarse granulated chips was focused on mechanical properties and correlated to microstructural features. The density and electrical conductivity of the recycled composites are lower than those of the unreinforced aluminum alloy due to the presence of fly ash particles. Regarding mechanical properties, the recycled composites with coarse granulated chips showed higher hardness and compressive strength than the recycled composites with fine granulated chips, but the compressive strength of the recycled composites with coarse granulated chips decreased with the increase of fly ash content.

Method of scrap recovery by hot extrusion in a contrast to traditional aluminum recycling process distinguishes itself with a low energy consumption and high recovery efficiency. Additionally, this type of recycling allows to recover materials even from highly fragmented forms of metal like chips, foils or filings by omitting melting procedure. In the present study results of 413.0 aluminum chips plastic consolidation will be presented. Chips after machining process were used as a charge material for the entire recycling process. In order to determined the best emulsion elimination method, three separate processes such as centrifugation, annealing and pressing were carried out. In result dry, wet and cleaned chips in a form of cylindrical billets were hot extruded into longitudinal square cross-section profiles. Mechanical properties were examined by uniaxial tensile tests while microstructure observations were performed by means of scanning electron microscopy. It has been showed that emulsion elimination by annealing gives the best results while at the same time all extruded materials revealed no significant differences in mechanical properties.

Products by solid-state recycling of aluminum chips in hot extrusion process were controlled by temperature related parameters using preheating temperature 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C for 1 hr, 2 hr, and 3 hr preheating time. By using Design of Experiments (DOE), the results found that the preheating temperature is more important to be controlled rather than the preheating time and increasing of temperature led to the high tensile strength. The profile extruded at 550 °C with 3 hr duration had gained the optimum case to get the maximum tensile strength. For the optimum case, heat treatment was carried out using quenching temperature at 530 oC for 2 h and aging process at 175 oC for 4 h. The tensile strength of extrudes specimen was improved significantly compared to those of non-treated specimen.
