1st International Symposium on Light Alloys and Composite Materials (ISLAC’18), Karabük, Turkey, 22 - 24 March 2018, pp.16-17, (Full Text)
In the last few decades there has been rapid increase in the waste materials and by-production due to the exponential growth rate of population, development of industry. Steel industry represents one of the major constituents of industrial solid waste. In this study; a new technology has been used to produce porous steel from low cost machined chip real wastes which came from some company instead of steel powder. Thus, metal loss prevention will be provided, production costs will be reduced and less waste will be released to the environment. The present study is aiming at investigating the possibility of producing a porous steel from machined chips with various shape by powder metallurgy. The effect of chip utilization and shape on the pore properties was evaluated from the characterization studies.
Keywords: Steel chips, waste, sintering, milling scraps.
