In the paper, the study was conducted on the characteristics of microstructures and orientations of UFG pure copper and 6061 aluminum alloy prepared by AARB, ECAP and CECC severe plastic deformation processes, in which SEM, TEM, EBSD and X-ray diffraction techniques were employed. The result of the study shows that microstructures, mainly composed of subgrains and dislocation kinks, are profuse in the UFG materials by the three SPDs. These kinds of microstructures have the strength of the materials much enhanced and the toughness heavily decreased. In these processes, shear deformation makes gains get finer and finer with the existence of the preferred orientations in the prepared UFG materials. Nevertheless, CECC shows the heaviest effect on the grain refining and the preferred orientation weakening.

The effects of severe plastic deformation (SPD) by isothermal rolling at the temperature of liquid nitrogen combined with prior- and post-SPD heat treatment, on microstructure and hardness of Al-4.4%Cu-1.4%Mg-0.7%Mn (D16) alloy were investigated. It was found no nanostructuring even after straining to 75%. Сryodeformation leads to microshear banding and processing the high-density dislocation substructures with a cell size of ~ 100-200 nm. Such a structure remains almost stable under 1 hr annealing up to 200oC and with further temperature increase initially transforms to bimodal with a small fraction of nanograins and then to uniform coarse grained one. It is found the change in the alloy post–SPD aging response leading to more active decomposition of the preliminary supersaturated aluminum solid solution, and to the alloy extra hardening under aging with shorter times and at lower temperatures compared to T6 temper.
