Research of Technology For Production Deformed Semi-Finished Products From Chip Waste of Aluminum Alloys And Study Properties of The Obtained Products

The results of studies of some methods of obtaining longish deformed semi-finished products in the form of rods and wires from chips of aluminum alloys 6063 and AlSi12 excluding the melting process during their implementation are presented. At the same time, the main methods used powder metallurgy (briquetting), metal forming (extrusion and drawing), and heat treatment (annealing). Using the developed general technological scheme of thermal deformation processing of chip waste from aluminum alloys, experimental studies of the technology of production of longish deformed semi-finished products from high-quality chips of alloys 6063 and AlSi12 have been carried out. The mechanical properties of metal obtained from shavings of experimental alloys of briquettes, rods, and wires were determined. The change in the structure of semi-finished products at all technological stages of processing was investigated. Computer simulation has been carried out, according to the results of which the regularities of temperature change, degree of deformation, and relative density in the volume of the deformation zone for semi-finished products obtained by the method of combined rolling-extrusion of a porous billet from briquette chips of 6063 alloy. As well as the degree of deformation, average normal and tangential stresses in the zone have been established. Deformation depends on the conditions of contact friction when drawing a wire from this alloy. Using the results of computer simulation, the proposed routes for drawing wire from extruded rods of chips of 6063 and AlSi12 alloys were experimentally tested and with their help, experimental batches of products were obtained for various industrial purposes.
