A new and promising MMC approach to the reduction of pollution, greenhouse effects, and emissions is to develop a technology related to materials composite forming. Hot extrusion followed by hot ECAP is a combination of solid-state recycling method (direct recycling) that consists of chip preparations, cold compaction, and hot extrusion, followed by the ECAP process. The developed process is used to consolidate the chips for direct chip recycling purposes without the remelting phase. In this study, finished or semi-finished products from B4C-reinforced particles and AA6061 aluminium chips were produced. The samples made by hot extrusion were compared with samples obtained from hot extrusion followed by the hot ECAP process in terms of mechanical properties. Additional plastic deformation by hot ECAP after hot extrusion significantly increased the mechanical properties of the MMC compared with the samples obtained from the hot extrusion only. The density and microstructure of the samples were also determined.

Melt Deposition

In this study, the effect of nano-B4C addition on the property profile of Elektron 21 (E21) alloys is investigated. E21 reinforced with different amounts of nano-size B4C particulates was synthesized using the disintegrated melt deposition technique followed by hot extrusion. Microstructural characterization of the developed E21-B4C composites revealed refined grains with the progressive addition of boron carbide nanoparticles. The evaluation of mechanical properties indicated a significant improvement in the yield strength of the nanocomposites under compressive loading. Further, the E21-2.5B4C nanocomposites exhibited the best damping characteristics, highest young’s modulus, and highest resistance to ignition, thus featuring all the characteristics of a material suitable for several aircraft applications besides the currently allowed seat frames. The superior mechanical properties of the E21-B4C nanocomposites are attributed to the refined grain sizes, uniform distribution of the nanoparticles, and the thermal insulating effects of nano-B4C particles.

Chips Recycling

AZ91D magnesium alloy is prepared by hot extrusion of recycled machined chips and its fractures and mechanical properties are investigated at various extrusion conditions. Cold-press is employed to prepare extrusion billets of AZ91D magnesium alloy chips, and then the billets are hot extruded at 573K-723K with an extrusion ratio of 11:1. The results show that tensile strength and elongation of the extrusion magnesium alloy with the extrusion temperature of 673K and the extrusion rate of 0.08mm/s can reach 380MPa and 6%, respectively. Fracture surface presents a mix mechanism of dimple-like fracture and gliding fracture. Due to grain refinement by cold-press and hot extrusion, mechanical properties of extruded rods are much higher than those of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy. Also, much lower energy consumption is necessary for this recycling compared to the conventional casting process. Solid state recycling is an efficient method for magnesium alloy chips recycling.

Deformation Ability

Homogenized magnesium alloy Mg-6Zn-Si-0.25Ca has been hot-extruded and then aging treated for improving the magnesium alloy plastic deformation ability and promoting applications of magnesium alloys. In the hot extrusion process, the influences of extrusion parameters for microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-6Zn-Si-0.25Ca magnesium alloy were investigated. The results show that dynamic recrystallization occurred during hot extrusion. Compared with as-cast alloy, the grains are fined remarkably, and the mechanical properties are enhanced obviously. Twin crystals appeared in grains after hot extrusion, with the extrusion temperature rising, twin crystal structures has been reduced. Aging further increased the mechanical properties of the estruded alloy. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg-6Zn-Si-0.25Ca alloy is about 385 MPa and the elongation is about 11% when extruded at 320°C(extrusion ratio is 10) and aged at 190°C for 8h.

Super light and high performance Mg2Si/Mg composites, which had excellent mechanical properties, were developed via the combination of solid-state synthesis and hot extrusion process. In this study, cold compacting (CP) and repeated plastic working (RPW) were firstly carried out for the mixture of Mg-Si powders, and the refinement of both Mg grains and dispersoids. Each specimen was evaluated by observation of microstructure and tensile test. As a result, it was understood that Mg2Si dispersoids were refined and dispersed into Mg matrix, and were flowed along extrusion direction. And their mechanical properties were higher than the conventional die casting alloys. Also the effect of RPW as the improvement of properties and the decrease of synthesis temperature were confirmed.

Direct solid-states, such as hot extrusion and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), are alternative and efficient solid-state processes for use in recycling aluminium scrap. These processes utilise less energy and are eco-friendly. Ceramic particles such as ZrO2 are suggested as alternatives in the production of metal composites. This study investigated and optimised the effects of various parameters of reinforced ZrO2 nanoparticles on the mechanical and physical properties via response surface methodology (RSM). These parameters were the volume fraction (VF), preheating temperature (T), and preheating time (t). The effects of these parameters were examined before and after the heat treatment condition and ECAP. Each parameter was evaluated at varying magnitudes, i.e., 450, 500, and 550 °C for T, 1, 2, and 3 h for t, and 1, 3, and 5% for VF. The effect that process variables had on responses was elucidated using the factorial design with centre point analysis. T and VF were crucial for attaining the optimum ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness. Reducing VF increased the mechanical properties to 1 vol% of oxide. The maximum hardness of 95 HV was attained at 550 °C, 1.6 h, and 1 vol% ZrO2 with a density of 2.85 g/cm3 and tensile strength of 487 MPa. UTS, density, and microhardness were enhanced by 14%, 1%, and 9.5%, respectively. Additionally, the hot extrusion parameters and ECAP followed by heat treatment strengthened the microhardness by 64% and density by 3%. Compression pressure and extrusion stress produced in these stages were sufficient to eliminate voids that increased the mechanical properties.
