This paper describes a method to control Mn and Fe contents in recycled AZ91D ingots, based on the mutual solubility of Mn and Fe in AZ91 alloy melts. For this purpose, Fe solubility with the change of Mn content and temperature was investigated in the homogenized and re-precipitated liquid AZ91 alloy. The increase of the amount of Mn added to the melt resulted in the decrease of Fe content. The data obtained in this study was adopted to the pilot plant for recycling of the scrap. As a result, Mn and Fe contents measured in the recycled ingot were in good agreement with ASTM B93 standard.
