During the last decade, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) has emerged as a widely-
known procedure for the fabrication of ultrafine-grained metals and alloys. This review …

The focus of this article is texture development in metals of fcc, bcc, and hcp crystal structure
processed by a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique called equal-channel angular …

Twenty-five years ago, in 1988, there appeared a classic description of the application of
severe plastic deformation (SPD) to bulk solids in order to achieve exceptional grain …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has established itself as a potent means of producing bulk
ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials. It has given rise to burgeoning research that …

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a processing method in which a metal is
subjected to an intense plastic straining through simple shear without any corresponding …

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a convenient processing tool for introducing very
significant grain refinement, typically to the submicrometer level, in a wide range of metals. It …

Samples of pure aluminum and an Al-6061 alloy were subjected to equal-channel angular
pressing (ECAP) for up to eight passes at room temperature. The Vickers microhardness …

In this study, the deformation behavior of aluminium during equal channel angular pressing
(ECAP) was calculated on the basis of a dislocation density-based model. The behavior of …

A comprehensive finite element (FE) study is conducted to analyze the formation of the
plastic deformation zone (PDZ) and evolution of the working load with ram displacement …

Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is analyzed by the slip line method. Full solutions
are considered in function of contact friction, backpressure and tool design. It is shown that …
