Abstract

Based on the study of the chemical composition and analysis of the physicochemical properties of waste from a number of metallurgical enterprises in the Zaporizhzhya region, the possibility of using waste as charge materials for the production of magnesium-based alloys has been established.

The possibility of using solid salt chlorinator melt (SCM) from ZTMC as a flux in the smelting of magnesium alloy instead of the flux VI-2 has been studied; its effect on the structure and mechanical properties of casting was investigated. The technological possibility of using these chloride wastes in the smelting of the ML5 alloy is shown. It was established that the use of SCM as a flux in the smelting of magnesium alloy contributes to the grinding of the structure and improvement of the mechanical properties of the metal of experimental smelting.

The possibility of modification of foundry magnesium alloy with graphite powder (GP), which is the waste from JSC "Ukrgrafit", is investigated. It is shown that the optimal GP additive in the volume of 0.05...0.3 % contributes to the grinding of metal grain and increases its strength characteristics due to additional strengthening of both solid solution and eutectoid. It is established that carbon changes the parameters of eutectic transformation, as a result of which, with an increase in its concentration in the alloy, the volume of eutectoid of type δ+γ (Mg4Al3) decreases markedly.

Testing the proposed waste for the smelting of the M5 alloy showed that no changes in melting technology are required while the environmental safety of the devised technological process meets the established standards; their quality was improved while increasing the strength limit by 25 %, and plasticity by 30 %.

At the same time, the use of waste in the smelting of magnesium alloys can reduce costs in its production, and improve the environmental situation due to the fact that waste is not disposed of at landfills but reused in metallurgical industries
