Abstract:

The utilisation of friction-induced solid-state recycling, methodically adapted to the CoNform process, facilitates the continuous production of semi-finished products. The material intended for recycling is conveyed continuously via a rotating wheel. The volume flow is influenced by fixed surfaces, deflections, and constrictions, thereby creating an asymmetrical flow profile. In order to effect a change in the mechanical properties of the semi-finished product, the material fed into the process can be modified. This enables the amalgamation of two alloys or the direct transition between them. The inhomogeneous flow conditions present within the tool give rise to the mixing of materials, thereby creating a graded multi-material zone. The multi-material zone was divided into different areas and traced back to the process conditions. Within the transitions, the connections between the alloys were examined, as well as the influence on the boundary layer. Material properties were determined for the individual areas and located along the length of the profile.
