Nanyang Technological University Library ABSTRACT Solid-state recycling of machining chip wastes via hot extrusion has nowadays been seen important to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse effect, perceived more important than the recycling by remelting. Characteristics of machining chips that are micro in size and large area-to-volume ratio in nature, melting can cause a massive molten metal vaporization leading to huge material losses. The hot extrusion process has long been recognised as the most outstanding direct recycling method which can result in much better material recovery. However, the high quality weld bonds among chips must be well developed during the process to ensure the mechanical performance of the recycled product is comparable to as-cast material. The optimum weld bond quality often relies on the selection of accurate process parameters to be combined with the appropriate die design. Nevertheless, the use of conventional approach of trial and error to complete the process parameter selection offers an unrealistic implementation, time consuming, and a costly process cycle. This conventional method was identified as the key shortcoming of the current solid-state recycling process. This research provides an investigation into the optimum homogenisation condition for chip-based billet, a mathematical model development which allows the prediction of weld strength recycled materials and a proposed heat treatment for performance improvement. For homogenisation aspect, a series of hot extrusion experiments were performed at different settings of temperature (400 °C - 550 °C) and preheating time (1 - 6 hours). Each extrudate profile was then tested for its tensile strength performance. To further investigate the effect of temperature in homogenisation via damage evolution within the extrudate structure, a numerical simulation using a finite element method i ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document. Nanyang Technological University Library was implemented. The normalized Cockcroft and Latham (C & L) fracture criterion was applied. Besides, a mathematical model for tensile bond strength prediction was developed using both theories of thin film bonding and diffusion. All related deformation variables for model calculation were numerically obtained via the finite element simulations, undertaken by the DEFORM 3D software. The model’s validation was done by a series of tensile tests on gear and rectangular profiles, where the predicted strengths were compared with the strengths obtained experimentally. Finally, the heat treatment process was carried out at T6 condition for all samples. For chip-based billet homogenisation, both experimental and numerical findings showed that the billet temperature must be kept higher than 400°C while for preheating time, minimum two hours was required to obtain a satisfactory tensile strength under the extrusion ratio of 11.22 or lower. The derived weld strength model was fairly accurate in predicting the tensile bond strength of extrudate. The average error resulting from the gear profile was 12 % while 23 % was calculated for the rectangular profile, both compared between the predicted and experimental results. The sources of error in the analysis were mainly contributed by the extreme state of strain-rate and deviations in the shear area estimation. The research shows that a great amount of heat or induced normal stress or shear stress was demanded to reduce the threshold strain of weld creation, thus promoting a sound weld bond. The greater magnitude of the normal stress (perpendicular to the extrudate surface) than the yield strength of material increases the real contact area of chips to result in a better cohesion and a delay in the contact time between die and billet enhances diffusion. Finally, the heat treated AA6061-T4 aluminium chips at T6 condition resulted in 105.66 HV, inferior just by ≈ 5 % hardness of as-received AA6061-T6, indicates that the mechanical properties of the direct recycled material can be successfully enhanced for practical applications. ii ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document.

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 22 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0514.v1 Review Review on Multi-Pass Friction Stir Processing of Aluminium Alloys Oritonda Muribwathoho1, Sipokazi Mabuwa1* and Velaphi Msomi1 1 Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mechanical Engineering Department, Bellville, 7535, South Africa; [email protected]; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 27 21 953 8778 Abstract: Aluminium alloys have evolved as suitable materials for automotive and aircraft industries due to their reduced weight, excellent fatigue properties, high-strength to weight ratio, high workability/formability, and corrosion resistance. Recently, the joining of similar and dissimilar metals have achieved huge success in various sectors. The processing of soft metals like aluminium, copper, iron and nickel have been fabricated using friction stir processing. Friction stir processing (FSP) is a microstructural modifying technique that uses the same principles as the friction stir welding technique. In the majority of studies on FSP, the effect of process parameters on the microstructure was characterized after a single pass. However, multiple passes of FSP is another method to further modify the microstructure in aluminium castings. This study is aimed at reviewing the impact of multi-pass friction stir processed joints of aluminium alloys and to identify a knowledge gap. From the literature that is available on multi-pass FSP, it has been observed that the majority of the literature focused on the processing of plates than the joints. There is limited literature reporting on multi-pass friction stir processed joints. This then creates a need to study further on multi-pass friction stir processing on dissimilar aluminium alloys.

  • Aluminium Level 2 2019 CES Edupack
    Level 2 Age-hardening wrought Al-alloys The 2000 and 7000 series age -hardening aluminum alloys are the backbone of the aerospace industry. The 6000 series has lower strength but is more easily extruded: it is used for marine and ground transport systems. THE MATERIAL The high -strength aluminum alloys rely on age -hardening: a sequence of heat treatment steps that causes the precipitation of a nano-scale dispersion of intermetallics that impede dislocation motion and impart strength. This can be as high as 700 MPa giving them a strength-to-weight ratio exceeding even that of the strongest steels. This record describes for the series of wrought Al alloys that rely on age-hardening requiring a solution heat treatment followed by quenching and ageing. This is recorded by adding TX to the series number, where X is a number between 0 and 8 that records the state of heat treatment. They are listed below using the IADS designations (see Technical notes for details).2000 series: Al with 2 to 6% Cu -- the oldest and most widely used aerospace series.6000 series: Al with up to 1.2% Mg and 1.3% Si -- medium strength extrusions and forgings.7000 series: Al with up to 8% Zn and 3% Mg -- the Hercules of aluminum alloys, used for high strength aircraft structures, forgings and sheet. Certain special alloys also contain silver. So this record, like that for the non-age hardening alloys, is broad, encompassing all of these. COMPOSITION 2000 series: Al + 2 to 6% Cu + Fe, Mn, Zn and sometimes Zr 6000 series: Al + up to 1.2%Mg + 0.25% Zn + Si, Fe a nd Mn 7000 series: Al + 4 to 9 % Zn + 1 to 3% Mg + Si, Fe, Cu and occasionally Zr and Ag GENERAL PROPERTIES Density 2500 - 2900 kg/m^3 Price *1.

  • Joining of AI-B4C Metal Matrix Composites by Laser Welding and Friction Stir Welding
    Joining of AI-B4C Metal Matrix Composites by Laser Welding and Friction Stir Welding Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Junfeng Guo UNIVERSITE DU QUEBEC A CHICOUTIMI 2012 Director: X. Grant Chen (UQAC) Co-director: Patrick Gougeon (NRC-ATC) Abstract AI-B4C MMCs are important materials as neutron absorber in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation due to their high boron (10B) concentration and thus high neutron absorption capability. However, wide application of these materials is still limited due to the lack of suitable joining techniques to fully take advantage of the materials. Problems such as porosity and chemical reaction between Al matrix and B4C particles can arise during fusion welding of the material. Therefore, the present study is intended to find effective and reliable welding techniques for AI-B4C MMCs. The weldability of AA1100- 16%B4C (particle size: 11 pirn) and AA1100-30%B4C MMCs (median particle size: 15 pirn) was evaluated using laser welding and friction stir welding. In comparison with conventional arc welding techniques, the deep and narrow fusion zones associated with laser welding can result in smaller heat affected zones, and thus less thermal distortion and mechanical property degradation. On the other hand, friction stir welding, as a solid state process, seems promising as it can avoid various problems that may otherwise be encountered during fusion welding of MMCs. For laser welding without filler, it was found that most B4C particles were decomposed during welding leading to formation of needle-like AIB2 and AI3BC phases in the weld.

Macro structural examination showed that decreasing heat input decreased the pore size in the weld metal. Tensile test was applied and failure occurred in heat affected zone of aluminum sheet metal. Maximum tensile strength was found in the sample with minimum heat input. Heat affected zone was observed explicitly in the sample produced with the maximum heat input. Decreasing joint gap affected the bending strength positively. Bending strength was found superior with maximum bonding line length. Keywords: CMT welding, mechanical characterization, AA1050. 1. INTRODUCTION Arc welding of thin sheet aluminum alloys pose unique challenges. Due to comparatively high coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity when compared to steel, control of heat input to the weldments is a major prerequisite to avoid some problems such as burning through and distortion [1,2]. The benefits including thin heat affected zone, little distortion and improved productivity made the cold metal transferring (CMT) process incomparable when applied in welding thin plates and weld-brazing [3].
