Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a convenient forming procedure among various severe plastic deformation processes. It is based on extruding material through specially designed entry and exit channel dies to produce an ultrafine grained microstructure. The properties of the materials obtained depend on the plastic deformation behaviour during ECAP, which is governed mainly by the die geometry, the material itself and the processing conditions. As the mechanical properties of the severely deformed material are directly related to the deformation history, understanding the phenomena associated with strain and strain rate development in the ECAP process is very important. In this study, the results of continuum modelling of ECAP are described in order to understand strain and strain developments. For this purpose, the results of modelling ECAP using the finite element method and analytical solution are presented for various geometric conditions. It was concluded that although deformation is nonuniform due to geometric effects, the strain and strain rate values obtained by the analytical solutions are not much different from the average results of the finite element method.

An alloy type A16060 was exposed to severe plastic deformation to study its reaction using the finite element method (FEM). To perform this, six different configurations were used in the design of the die’s channel for ECAP (equal channel angular pressing) to obtain nanostructure materials and to optimize the process. Thanks to simulation performed with FEM, it is possible to study the homogeneity in the deformation due to the variation of conditions affecting directly the material being processed using the ECAP technique, such as the friction coefficient, extrusion speed, and mainly the die’s channel geometry being utilized in the ECAP process. Due to the tensile strain area being located mainly in the upper part of the deformed test cylinder (plastic deformation area) which increases the fracture and cracking tendency preventing the processing through ECAP the die being utilized was modified to eliminate the tensile strain area favoring the appearance of compressive stress which reduces the cracking tendency and the fracture of the sample being processed. The FEM analysis demonstrated that the strain state changed significantly from tension to compression when the modified die was used, facilitating the processing of the piece by ECAP.
