Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device (10) for determining at least one mechanical property of a workpiece sample (100), which comprises at least one image capturing unit (12) for optically determining a workpiece geometry of the workpiece sample (100), and at least one mechanical inspection head (13) for making an indentation (101) in the workpiece sample (100). According to the invention, at least the image capturing unit (12) and the mechanical inspection head (13) form a structural unit (B) together.

Abstract: A method and a system produces extrusion billets from scraps obtained from stamping, cutting and/or machining operations, in particular scraps made of magnesium or magnesium alloys, without subjecting these to a melting process. The system for carrying out the method is essentially composed of a storage unit for the scraps, a device for comminuting the scraps, a press for producing a round briquette, and an extruder for shaping the round briquette into a extrusion billet.
