Integrating Simulation with Experiment for Recycled Metal Matrix Composite (MMC-Al_R) Developed through Hot Press Forging

Abstract

This study proposes of harmonizing the original approach of aluminium alloy recycling through hot press forging. By eradicating the melting phase, most of the waste generation can be significantly reduced. To cope with the technology revolution, the finite element is utilised to predict the material behaviour without practically executing the trial. By employing three-dimensional finite element analysis through DEFORM 3D, the evaluations were demonstrated by simulating the isothermal forging process. The flow stress of the material was modified to adequate with the aluminium-based metal matrix composite used in the actual experiment. To that extent, this study found out that the strain of the workpiece had gradually increased on each step. A reduction of ~10% of the flesh observed in the simulation is roughly the same as existed on the experiment workpiece. Above all, the simulation conducted abides by the standard and follows the actual practice that has been done previously. Through the finite element utilization, this study discussed the performance of the recycled based composite. The result presented here may facilitate improvement in the recycling issue and also conserved the environment for the better future.

Response surface methodology and machine learning optimisations comparisons of recycled AA6061-B4C–ZrO2 hybrid metal matrix composites via hot forging forming process

“…Temperature is a crucial factor to consider when working with aluminium alloys, as there is a theoretical linear relationship between temperature, hybrid ceramic particles, and the mechanical characteristics of the alloy. Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of this relationship [ [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ].…”

Life Cycle Assessment on the Direct Recycling Aluminium Alloy AA6061 Chips and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC-AlR)

“…Substantial quantities of both material and energy can be expend through avoiding re-melting which subsequently reducing the overall effects on the ecological impact by decreasing the utilization of aluminium. A method of solid-state recycling aluminium alloy using hot press forging process was studied as well as the possibility of the recycled chip to be used as secondary resources [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18].…”

Multiresponse Optimization and Environmental Analysis in Direct Recycling Hot Press Forging of Aluminum AA6061

“…Additional research in this particular study area is highly recommended for further environmental conservation [14,15]. Hot press forging (HPF), in any case, has shown itself to be a promising elective technique for reusing aluminum as the loss from the machining procedure shows magnificent potential as far as quality and pliancy [16,17,18,19,20,21].…”
