abstract

the full annealing aa6061 aluminum alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformationvia the combination of equal channel angular pressing (ecap) and cold rolling (cr) in order torefine its microstructure and to improve its mechanical properties. according to the results of hotand cold tensile tests, the combination of ecap and cr significantly affected the final strengthand ductility of studied aa6061. four passes of ecap followed by 90% reduction in rolling led toabout 5.4 and 3.15 times increase in the yield and ultimate tensile strengths, respectively. inaddition, the hot ductility and strain rate sensitivity were increased by applying ecap plus cr.the changes in mechanical properties were attributed to the enhanced dislocation density and tothe reduced grain size. the results show that a decrease in grains/subgrains size (0.37 μm) and anincrease in the fraction of high angle grain boundaries, exhibited significant effect on the hotductility of higher severe plastic deformed sample.

Modeling and production of high strength Al strips by equal channel multi angular pressing method

Equal channel multi angular pressing (ECMAP) process is the efficient method to enhance the productivity of ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials, by increasing process continuity and as a result decreasing process required time. Comparing repetitive ECAP method, in the same period, the number of passes can be done by ECMAP. In this article, ECMAP of AL strips in two typical annealed and as receiv...

Experimental Investigation of Thermal Conductivity of Aluminum Alloy 3003 Produced by Equal Channel Angular Rolling Process

Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) process is one of the methods that have been used to make ultra-fine materials by imposing severe plastic deformation. After repeating the process several times, a large effective strain is applied to the sample that can cause decreasing the grain size and improving the mechanical and physical properties of the metal. In this study, thermal conductivity of t...

EFFECT OF POST-DEFORMATION ANNEALING TREATMENT ON INTERFACE PROPERTIES AND SHEAR BOND STRENGTH OF Al-Cu BIMETALLIC RODS PRODUCED BY EQUAL CHANNEL ANGULAR PRESSING

Effects of annealing treatment after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the interface properties and shear bond strength of Al/Cu bimetallic rods were investigated. For the as-deformed samples, the one with two passes of ECAP indicated higher shear bond strength. Formation of a layer of intermetallic compounds after annealing treatment is confirmed. In general, by increasing annealing tem...

Size effect in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process

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...
