Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) process is one of the severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods that have been used to make ultra-fine grain (UFG) materials with improving the mechanical properties of samples. After performing the process at several paths, a large strain is applied to the material that can cause decreasing the grain size and improving the mechanical and physical properties ...

Abstract Low temperature tensile and impression creep tests were carried out on an ultrafine-grained 7xxx series Al–4.8Zn–1.2 Mg–0.14Zr (wt%) alloy, which can be deformed for maximum elongation of about 200% at 150 °C. The characteristics the deformation process, such as strain rate sensitivity (SRS) activation energy (Q) determined by considering also effect threshold stress. Relatively high S...

Experiments were conducted on a magnesium AZ31 alloy to evaluate the role of cavitation in high temperature superplasticity. Samples were processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and then pulled to failure in tension at a temperature of 623K. Similar tests were also conducted on the as-received alloy. The results show the development of significant internal cavitation in this alloy wh...

Equal-channel angular pressing provides an opportunity for refining the grain structure and introducing superplastic properties in magnesium alloys. This report describes the use of this processing technique with a ZK10 (Mg–1.0 wt.% Zn–0.26 wt.% Zr) alloy. The grain structure was successfully refined from ∼12.9 to ∼5.2 m after 4 passes and superplastic elongations were observed when testing at ...

T. Bajor, M. Krakowiak, P. Szota, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of AZ61 magnesium alloy hot deformation using modified ECAE method. The temperature-velocity conditions were analysed using FEM. The extrusion process was realised using the die with modified angular channel containing horizontal contracting zone in t...

Mg-5wt.% Sn alloy is often used in portable electronic devices and automobiles. In this study, mechanical properties of Mg-5wt.% Sn alloy processed by Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) were characterized. More precisely, its hardness and wear behavior were measured using Vickers hardness test and a pin-on-disc wear test. The microstructures of ECAE-processed Mg-Sn alloys were investigated ...

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was utilized to process a Bi‒42Sn eutectic alloy at room temperature using processing route A for 1, 2, 4, and 8 passes. Tensile testing was performed at room temperature under initial strain rates in the range of 1.0 × 10 -5 to 1.0 × 10 -2 s -1 . The results demonstrate that processing by ECAP improves the ductility in this material and the elongations to ...
