A study was carried out on the aging behaviour of a solution treated 6082 aluminium alloy deformed by equal channel angular pressing up to six passes. Aging of the so obtained ultrafine alloy was studied by DSC and TEM analyses as well as by isothermal treatments at 130, 160 and 180 C. The results showed that the formation of metastable 00 and 0 precipitates were markedly anticipated and that t...

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...

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...

equal channel angular rolling (ecar) is a severe plastic deformation method that covered plasticdeformation of sheets. in this study, effects of ecar route shave been investigated on themechanical and microstructure properties of explosive-welded al-cu bimetal. at first, the explosivewelding process has been performed to prepare the al-cu bimetals. then, to relieve the stress andpreparing of sa...

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...
