The problem of chip processing of aluminum alloy containing scandium is considered. The difficulty of remelting due to easy oxidation of the alloy components is noted. It is proposed to dispose of the shavings without transferring the metal to liquid state. The aim of the work is to construct technological scheme for the processing of waste chips of the Al—Mg—Sc alloy formed as result of machining cast billets by cutting. Results of experiments including cold briquetting, hot extrusion and drawing are presented. The mechanical properties of the product obtained according to several variants of the technological scheme are measured. The possibility of continuous drawing of semi-finished product is shown. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using the scheme in the production process.

Abstract Mechanical alloying of high-purity aluminum and 10 wt.% NiO powders combined with powder vacuum compression and following hot extrusion method was used to produce an Al-NiO composite. Mechanical properties of as-extruded materials as well as the samples annealed at 823 K /6 h, were tested by compression at 293 K - 770 K. High mechanical properties of the material were attributed to the highly refined structure of the samples. It was found that the structure morphology was practically not changed during hot-compression tests. Therefore, the effect of deformation temperature on the hardness of as-deformed samples was very limited. The annealing of samples at 823 K/6 h induced a chemical reaction between NiO-particles and surrounding aluminum matrix. As a result, the development of very fine aluminum oxide and Al3Ni grains was observed.

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.

The development of new components with magnesium alloys for the automotive industry has increased in recent years due to their high potential as structural materials for low density and high strength/weight ratio demands. However, the limited mechanical properties of the magnesium alloys have led to search new kind of magnesium alloys for better strength and ductility. The main objective of this research is to investigate the mechanical properties and the corrosion behavior of new wrought magnesium alloys; Mg-Zn-Ag (ZQ) and Mg-Zn-Si (ZS) alloys. The ZQ6X and ZS6X samples were fabricated using hot extrusion method. Tensile tests and immersion tests were carried out on the specimens from the extruded rods, which contained different amounts of silver or silicon, in order to evaluate the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior. The microstructure was examined using optical and electron microscopy (TEM and SEM) and EDS. The results showed that the addition of silver improved the mechanical properties but decreased the corrosion resistance. The addition of silicon improved both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. These results can be explained by the effects of alloying elements on the microstructures of the Mg-Zn alloys such as grain size and precipitates caused by the change in precipitation and recrystallization behavior.

This article deals with the direct recycling of EN AW 2011 aluminum alloy chips, which are formed by turning, into semifinished products using forward hot extrusion process. Direct recycling without re-melting is usually called solid-state recycling. The main aim of this article is to investigate the influence of depth of cut (size of chips) in the aluminum alloy turning process, extrusion temperature, and compaction force on mechanical properties, surface roughness, and extrusion force of recycled samples. An original approach to solve this problem is mathematical modelling of the process using the design of experiments. The influence of main research factors on yield strength (Rp0,2), hardness (HV), extrusion force (F), and surface roughness (Ra) of recycled samples has been studied. The study has shown that the most influential factor on mechanical properties, surface roughness, and extrusion force was extrusion temperature.

The evolution of microstructure and porous defects of a spray-formed 7000 Aluminum alloy is researched in this paper. The spray-formed alloy is treated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP), homogenization, hot extrusion, solution and aging treatment. Metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and tensile test are used to research the microstructure and mechanical properties. The results show that, there are two kinds of porous defects in spray-formed alloy, which has gas and no gas. The porous defects of spray-formed ingot can be mostly eliminated by HIP and hot extrusion. After solution and aging treatment, the tensile strength and elongation reach 757MPa and 10.2%, respectively.

The magnesium alloys have poor corrosion resistance because of their low equilibrium potential and loose oxide film, while the aluminum and its alloys have good corrosion resistance due to their compact oxide film. In this study, a kind of aluminum and magnesium bimetallic bars, 6063 aluminum alloy-clad AZ31B magnesium alloy bars, were acquired through hot extrusion. The experimental results showed that the extrusion temperature of 653K or lower, as well as an extrusion speed of 2m/min or lower be used during the extrusion. The interfacial structure and mechanical properties of the bimetallic bars were studied. The interface between aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy was metallurgic bonding with the shear bonding strength of 53Mpa for as extruded sample. As annealing temperature or holding time increased, the jointed layer between aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy was broadened, which decreased of shear bonding strength, indicating that the heat treatment is deleterious. The bimetallic bars have lower identity, good corrosion resistance and preferable mechanical properties, which are promising constructional materials.

The feasibility of recycling machining grindings of aluminum alloys by semisolid process has been investigated. Machining grindings of A2011 aluminum alloy produced experimentally by lathe machining were used. The material is put into a metal mold and compressed up to 90 % of the true density at room temperature. The metal mold with the compressed machining grindings is heated up to a specified temperature. Afterwards, the metal mold is set into the extrusion container, and extrusion in hot and semisolid range was carried out. In this experimental study, extrusion load, internal structure of the product and mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness) of the product are assessed. It was proven that semisolid extrusion is about 40% less extrusion load compared with that of hot extrusion, the shape of the machining grindings remained in the hot extrusion and the semisolid extrusion products extrusion ratios higher than 10 have excellent elongation property, which is comparable to the commercialized product.
