| Abstract Scope |
Conventional recycling routes for aluminum alloys, based on remelting, are not efficient in terms of energy demand and, what is more, permanent material losses occur because of oxidation. In order to overcome such issues, researches have turned to Solid State Recycling (SSR) strategies, directly turning aluminum scraps into semi-finished products by avoiding the remelting step. Within this process category the authors have focused on friction based SSR methods. In these processes, the work of the friction forces between the die and the material being processed decays into heat causing material softening, thus allowing solid bonding activation. In the proposed presentation the authors will discuss strengths and weaknesses of two process variants: Friction Stir Extrusion and Friction Stir Consolidation. Process mechanics, process engineering (both experimental and numerical) and potential environmental savings will be presented along with the knowledge gap to be still covered to get these processes suitable for industrial applications. |
