The conventional recycling method of aluminum by remelting the scraps is causing environmental problems, material losses, and depletion of energy resources. This paper aims to present an eco-friendly recycling technique for the aluminum alloy AA2011. The chips obtained from the turning operation were collected, compacted into billets, and hot extruded. Experiments were planned according to the design of experiments (DOE) approach. The recycling process parameters were extrusion temperature and ratio. Regression analysis (RA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted, and significant mathematical models were obtained. The adopted equations demonstrated the effect of the extrusion parameters on the ultimate tensile strength and the yield strength of the extruded aluminum. The results showed that the extrusion temperature and the extrusion ratio significantly influenced the tensile and yield strengths of the samples. An Optimization process was carried out to maximize the abovementioned mechanical properties of the extrudates. Metallographic analysis was also performed to study the bonding quality between the chips.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
