A promising approach to overthrow this problem is the utilization of solid state recycling in converting aluminum machining chips directly into semifinished products to eliminate the cost of the remelting process and reduce CO2 emissions. Therefore, in recent work, chips of aluminum alloy (AA6061) were recycled by compaction and then extrusion conducted at 500°C, followed by equal channel pressing (ECAP) to study the resultant material properties and its microstructure. Moreover, the present investigation explores the influence of ECAP after hot extrusion on the corrosive behaviour of the recycled samples in saline solution (NaCl) by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization (LP). The results demonstrated a remarkable enhancement of the recycled chips’ properties subjected to hot extrusion followed by the ECAP process. Furthermore, the successive ECAP passes leads to increased film thickness and decreased corrosion rate PB Journal of Chemistry SN 20909063 YR 2019 FD 2019-09-24 LK http://hdl.handle.net/11093/3772 UL http://hdl.handle.net/11093/3772 LA eng NO Journal of Chemistry, 2019, ID 3658507 (2019) NO Deanship of Scientific Research, King Saud University | Ref.
