The production of chips is an inevitable part of any machining operation. Today, brass chips are commonly recycled through re-melting by the material supplier implying a “loop” where material is sent back and forth between the material supplier and the manufacturing company. The research presented in this paper evaluates a method for compaction and hot forging of brass chips into blanks for subsequent machining into a finished product. A series of experiments have been performed to evaluate the method. The results indicate a possibility of a successful hot forging method for brass chips into machining blanks.
