The properties of the hot extruded chip-based AA6060 sheets are examined by tensile tests and microstructural investigations and the results are compared with those obtained from material extruded from conventional cast billets. The chip-based sheets were used to form components by bending or deep drawing. No significant differences between the bent components or deep-drawn cups made of chips and those from cast material are observed regarding their capability for further plastic forming operations. This makes the new process route a resource-efficient alternative for the production of aluminium sheet products.enRecyclingChip extrusionSolid state recyclingMetal formingSustainabilityAluminium scrap recycling620670TextAluminiumblechBlechumformenAluminiumrückgewinnungSekundäraluminiumStrangpressenMetallspanRecycling
