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...

Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is currently being widely investigated because of its potential to produce ultrafine grained microstructures in metals and alloys. A sound knowledge of the plastic deformation and strain distribution is necessary for understanding the relationships between strain inhomogeneity and die geometry. Considerable research has been reported on finite element analy...

This paper investigates the microstructural evolution and grain refinement kinetics of a solution-treated Cu-0.1Cr-0.06Zr alloy during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 673 K via route BC. The microstructural change during plastic deformation was accompanied by the formation of the microband and an increase in the misorientations of strain-induced subboundaries. We argue...

Abstract. In the evolution of characteristics in Mg alloys, combined influence grain refinement by severe plastic deformation (SPD) and alloying elements usually plays a crucial role. Rare earth (Y, Gd, Nd) combination with Zn have substantial impact on various compositions. this study, new dilute extruded Mg-Zn-Gd-Y-Nd alloy was exposed to 5 passes equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), die 90...

Through simulation, effect die geometry, workpiece speed on effective strain distributions, damage, loads, were investigated. The method different mat...

The oxidation of aluminum machined chips makes successful recycling via the traditional re-melting technique difficult. A viable solution to this problem is utilize solid-state transform directly into semi-finished goods, eliminating costs process and minimizing CO2 emissions. In present study, Al-6061 alloy have been recycled using hot extrusion followed by severe plastic deformation at ambien...

Abstract The exact calculations of the stress and strain distributions based on controlling equations for a forming process with large deformation are often difficult. To circumvent such difficulties, some analytical methods upper-bound analysis slip-line field theory have been established by making number simplifying assumptions regarding material properties modes. In this work an model was su...

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...

در روش تغییرشکل در کانال‌های مساوی زاویه‌دار (ECAP)، ماده از داخل یک قالب با دو کانال متقاطع عبور کرده و تغییرشکل برشی شدیدی در ماده ایجاد می‌شود که به موجب آن کرنش‌های شدیدی در ماده پدیدار گشته و سبب ریزدانگی ساختار ماده می‌شود. در این تحقیق به کمک شبیه‌سازی سه‌بعدی فرآیند ECAP با استفاده از نرم‌افزار المان محدود اثر پارامترهای موثر نظیر سرعت پرس، زاویه‌ی کانال، زاویه‌ی گوشه‌ی قالب و ضریب اصطک...
