Hot pressing was employed to prepare extrusion billets of AZ80 chips, then the billets were hot extruded at 623 K with an extrusion ratio of 25∶1. The extruded rods show a high ultimate tensile strength of 285 MPa and a high elongation of 6%. Due to grain refinement by extrusion, mechanical properties of the extruded rods are much higher than those of as-cast AZ80 alloy. Process technique and chips densification mechanism were also studied. Results show that hot extrusion is an efficient method for AZ80 alloy chips recycling.展开更多
