Abstract

In recent years, the magnesium alloy is frequently used for automobile components, computer parts and digital camera parts. However, a lot of magnesium chips from the manufacturing process are dumped as the industrial waste, because the surface area per unit volume is large and the magnesium machine chips are easily oxidized during the melting process. However, the magnesium chips will be able to be recycled by the compaction forming to avoid the oxidation. In this paper, the compaction forming experiments of the magnesium machine chips are attempted by mixing of waste Al chips, aluminum melting flux such as NaCl, MgCl2, and plastic chips of Bakelite, glass epoxy. For the compacts obtained, the check of crack, the strength test and the microstructure observation are performed. Furthermore, the formed compact was melted in molten aluminum. And, the mechanical strength of the obtained Al-Mg alloy is compared with that of the commercial alloy.
