Abstract. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique was employed for consolidation of AZ31 magnesium chips. The chips were consolidated at temperature 300 °C following ECAP route A up to two passes. optical and scanning electron micrographs reveal that have taken place the quality improves with number passes hence total imposed strain. Vickers hardnes...

In this article, commercially pure copper samples were severely deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) up to eight passes at room temperature. The effects of severe plastic deformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity of the copper were investigated. The microstructure evolution was followed by optical microscope and field emission scanning el...

The influence of the sample size (diameter while keeping the length constant) in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of pure aluminum is examined using finite element method (FEM) and experiment. Different sized aluminum rods were processed via ECAP and the effect of sample size on the strain homogeneity, process load, and the ratio of the friction to the total force were evaluated. The resul...

Improving the strength values of low–medium-strength shipbuilding steels without changing chemical properties will be very useful to meet high-strength requirement in ships. Heat treatments and severe plastic deformation methods are main used increase steel structure. Considering high improvement effect values, quenching process equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) method stand out among heat ...

This paper was aimed at verification of functionality of the ECAP technology at extrusion of the copper, alluminium alloys and steel. Experiments were made on equipment, which is demonstrated in the Fig 1. Deformation forces were measured during extrusion, resistance to deformation was calculated and deformation speed was determined approximately. Analysis of structure was made with use of ligh...

The mechanical properties and deformation behavior of a Cu-Cr-Zr alloy after solution treatment (ST) or aging (ST+AT) equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at elevated temperature were investigated. ECAP led to strengthening degradation plasticity compared with the initial state. 1 2 passes 200 °C was almost same. An increase in promoted uniform strain plasticity. number gradual strength. YS UT...
