In this paper the influence of different parameters on equal channel angular pressing (EADAP) of titanium alloy is investigated. In the first step the most important parameters are selected, and then a table of experiments is designed using Taguchi method. After designing the table of experiments, all of the experiments are simulated using Abacus software and the results are optimized using Tag...

Among different SPD techniques, Equal channel Angular Pressing has attracted the most attentions, because of applying large strain to solid bulk materials. In this research, ECAP process up to 6 passes was carried out on a pure copper and a 6012 Al-Mg-Si alloy with BC route in ECAP dies with Φ=120 and Ψ=20 and diameter of 20and 10 millimeter respectively. Moreover, X-ray diffraction (XRD) syste...

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...

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is carried out using two different configurations for the exit channel of the ECAP die, i.e., relieved and choked, with angles of 0.2 °. It is found that using a die with relieved exit channel, the sample was extruded for 6 passes with no surface cracks and an average cell size of 727 nm and a fraction of high angle grain boundaries of 54 % were achieved. M...

in the present paper, the deformation zone of the ecae (equal channel angular extrusion) process was investigated using the upper bound theorem. for this purpose, the shape of the streamlines in the deformation zone was assumed to be cubic bezier curves. then, the force required for the ecae process was optimized with regard to the parameters defining the shape of streamlines by the upper bound...
