Method of producing composite extruded aluminum products from aluminum swarf

摘要

Particulate aluminum or aluminum alloy swarf or waste is compressed under heat and pressure to form a billet. After subjecting the billet to a subsequent heat treatment at a higher temperature the billets are capable of being extruded by conventional extrusion apparatus. A conventional preheated billet of cast aluminum or aluminum alloy can be placed in the extrusion apparatus between the die plate and the preheated billet of aluminum or aluminum alloy swarf so that upon extrusion through the die orifice the compressed swarf billet and the conventional billet will comprise the core and coating portions of the product respectively.
