Parametric optimisation of heat treated recycling aluminium (AA6061) by response surface methodology by Yusuf, N. K., Ahmad, A., Lajis, M. A., Shamsudin, S., Zhong, Zhao Wei

“…At present, hot extrusion is preferred as the effective solid-state recycling process compared to the typical method of melting the swarf at high temperature. However, the ideal properties of extruded product can only be achieved through a controlled process used to alter the microstructure to impart properties which benefit the working life of a component, which also known as heat treatment process. …”
