Recovery of Aluminum Alloy A380 from Machining Chips

Abstract:

Die casting aluminum alloy A380 were recoveredfrom high pressure die cast machining chipsunder a series of designed experiments using Taguchi Method, where flux types (FT), chips/flux ratio (CFR), holding times (Ht) and temperatures (HT) were selected as four factors. For each factor, three levels were chosen to create Taguchi orthogonal array. The recovery rate (R_r) was selected as a response to evaluate the effectiveness of the recovery process. An analysis of the mean of noise-to-signal (S/N) ratios indicates that the recovery rate is affected considerably by the levels in the Taguchi orthogonal array. The optimum combination leads to the highest recovery rate of 92.03% by using Al-clean 101 as the refining flux, 10:5 as the chips/flux ratio, 60 minutes and 760°Cas the holding time and holding temperature.
