Products made through solid-state recycling of aluminum chips in a hot
extrusion process were regulated by temperature-related factors by utilizing
a preheating temperature of 350 °C, 400 °C, and 450 °C for one hour, two
hours, and three hours of preheating time, respectively. Design of
Experiments (DOE) was used, and the findings showed that the preheating
temperature is more significant to manage than the preheating duration, and
that increasing the temperature led to a high tensile strength. This
conclusion was reached as a result of the experiments. The profile that was
extruded for three hours at 550 degrees Celsius had reached the ideal
condition for achieving the highest possible tensile strength. The heat
treatment was carried out with the solution temperature set at 450 degrees
Celsius for two hours, and the ageing procedure was carried out at 195
degrees Celsius for three hours. The extruded specimen underwent heat
treatment, which resulted in a considerable increase in its tensile strength.

1. INTRODUCTION
Due to its low density, high corrosion resistance, and
exceptional mechanical qualities, aluminium and its
alloys are a vital material in many different types of
manufacturing. Recycling aluminium has received a
lot of attention as an environmentally responsible
way to lessen the exhaustion of natural resources and
the use of energy in original aluminium production.
More and more attention in the field of aluminium
recycling is being paid to direct recycling, which
entails reusing scrap aluminium alloys without
subjecting them to intensive reprocessing. While
there is no doubt that direct recycling can help lessen
our ecological footprint, it also raises concerns
regarding the tensile strength and other mechanical
properties of recycled alloys.
Because of its balanced composition of aluminium,
magnesium, and silicon, which provides a favourable
combination of strength and corrosion resistance,
aluminium alloy 6065 is a popular choice in a wide
variety of applications. However, research into how
