The main limitation of the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is very high required punching force for pushing metallic sample to next channel. Frictional forces in ECAP process are responsible force. participation exit and entrance channels total friction has not been studied experimentally hitherto. Through current study, two dies (1) with (normal die) (2) only one channel (the was missed)...

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) combined with the Conform process provides a solution for the continuous production of ultrafine-grained materials. In the present study finite element method was executed to investigate the effects of die channel angle and friction on the strain homogeneity and the required torque in ECAP-Conform process. Deformation behaviour of Al 6061 wires was analyzed...

Static recrystallization and grain growth behaviors were investigated in Mg-0.3Ce (wt%) alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) for N = 1 (?eq 0.9), 2 1.9), 4 3.9) passes at 300 °C using route Bc annealed 450 5, 30, 60, 180 min. The results demonstrated that the microstructure texture are strongly related to strain level, second particles distribution, fraction of dynamic (DRX)...

An AZ31 magnesium alloy was extruded and then processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 200 °C for 1, 2 4 passes. The grain structure refined from 20.2 to 1.6 ?m after shear punch testing (SPT) technique uniaxial tensile tests were employed evaluate the mechanical properties of ECAP samples. pass showed lower yield stress higher ductility compared as-extruded condition, indicating t...

An I-phase containing Mg-8Sn-6Zn-2Al (wt %; TZA862) alloy was fabricated and subjected to different number of passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) processing at 300 °C. The results showed that the alloys exhibited a bimodal microstructure, which consisted of fine dynamically recrystallized (DRX) grains and coarse non-DRX grains. When increasing the number of ECAP passes from 2 to 6, ...

In recent years, the fabrication of bulk materials with ultra fine grain sized materials processed by SPD methods. Different techniques have been used to introduce large plastic strains in to bulk metals such as Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) [1-3], Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) [4-7], Repetitive Corrugation and Straitening (RCS) [8,9], Constrained Groove Pressing (CGP) [5] and Constra...

In this work, the microstructural evolutions and mechanical properties of an as-cast Mg-10Gd-4Y-1.5Zn-0.5Zr (wt %) alloy during successive multi-pass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were systematically investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and compression test. The obtained results show that the microstructure of as-cast allo...

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...
