dc.description.abstract | © 2020 by the authors. The melt conditioned direct chill (MC-DC) casting process has been used to produce billets and extruded planks of AA5754 alloy formulated from 100% recycled Taint Tabor scrap aluminum. The billets were homogenized and then extruded into flat planks. Optical metallography of the MC-DC cast billets showed equiaxed refined grains in comparison to conventional direct chill (DC) cast and direct chill grain refined (DC-GR) cast billets formulated from the same Taint Tabor scrap. Microstructural evaluation of the extruded planks showed extensive peripheral coarse grain (PCG) for the DC, DC-GR and MC-DC cast planks. The 2 mm and 1 mm MC-DC cast planks produced after cold rolling and heat treatment showed a fully recrystallized microstructure at 380 °C and 300 °C for 10 min respectively with an improvement in mechanical properties over DC-GR cast and similarly processed planks. The as-extruded MC-DC cast planks tensile tested in the transverse direction showed 34% elongation and 213 MPa ultimate tensile strength. These tensile results showed 5.8% higher elongation and 1.2% higher ultimate tensile strength compared with the DC-GR planks after applying high shear melt conditioning. | - |
