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...

expansion equal channel angular extrusion (exp-ecae) is a severe plastic deformation (spd) operation for processing bulk materials. in the current study, aa7075 al was spd-processed by expansion equal channel angular extrusion (ex-ecae) at various temperatures and ram velocities. then, using split hopkinson pressure bar (shpb), the severely deformed products were compressed at room temperature ...
