Metal machining chips are recycled conventionaly which consist of melting casting. In the paper the method of direct conversion of bronze and steel chips, into finished product without melting, as an alternative way to conventional method is described. Metal chips were comminuted by mechanical milling and for the next processing the granulated chips larger than 2 mm in length were eliminated. Bronz and steel chips were blended at previously designated percentage ratio according to their weight. In recent process, metal chips that pressed at room temperature were sintered. Finally the mechanical properties of the produced composite material were determined and compared with metallurgically produced bronze.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRecyclingSintered bronze-steel chipsCompositesConference Object675681N/AWOS:000276075800094N/A
