%X This study proposes of harmonizing the original approach of aluminium alloy recycling through hot press forging. By eradicating the melting phase, most of the waste generation can be significantly reduced. To cope with the technology revolution, the finite element is utilised to predict the material behaviour without practically executing the trial. By employing three-dimensional finite element analysis through DEFORM 3D, the evaluations were demonstrated by simulating the isothermal forging process. The flow stress of the material was modified to adequate with the aluminium-based metal matrix composite used in the actual experiment. To that extent, this study found out that the strain of the workpiece had gradually increased on each step. A reduction of �10 of the flesh observed in the simulation is roughly the same as existed on the experiment workpiece. Above all, the simulation conducted abides by the standard and follows the actual practice that has been done previously. Through the finite element utilization, this study discussed the performance of the recycled based composite. The result presented here may facilitate improvement in the recycling issue and also conserved the environment for the better future. © 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
