Abstract

In this study, it examined recycling of Mg-Al-Zn based alloy by vacuum distillation method. The vacuum distillation used a vacuum distillation apparatus and it evacuated a vacuum and heated a Mg-Al-Zn based alloy to less than 1Pa at 600°C. In making magnesium deposit got by the vacuum distillation method to be a billet for the extrusion, the extruding was carried out. There was no contamination of the impurity except for Zn on the chemical composition of recycling extrusions. The corrosion resistance of the recycling extrusions was better than the AZ91D magnesium base alloy die castings. The elongation of the recycling extrusions was decreased a little from 99.99% purity magnesium extrusions, and tensile strength, 0.2% proof stress and hardness of the extrusions increased.
