Angular Pressing

The effects of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), further heat treatment and rolling on the structure and room temperature mechanical properties of the commercial aluminum alloys 6061 (Al-0.9Mg-0.7Si) and 1560 (Al-6.5Mg-0.6Mn) were investigated. It has been shown that the strength of the alloys after ECAP is higher than that achieved after conventional processing. Prior ECAP solution treatment and post-ECAP ageing can additionally increase the strength of the 6061 alloy. Under optimal ageing conditions a yield strength (YS) of 434 MPa and am ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 470 MPa were obtained for the alloy. Additional cold rolling leads to a YS and UTS of 475 and 500 MPa with 8% elongation. It was found that the post-ECAP isothermal rolling of the 1560 alloy resulted in the formation of a nano-fibred structure and a tensile strength (YS = 540 MPa and UTS = 635 MPa) that has never previously been observed in commercial non-heat treatable alloys.

Mechanical properties of two Cu alloys (electrolytic and fire refined) severely deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process were investigated. They were treated with a annealing heat treatment to 600°C during 30 minutes and then they were extruded in a Φ=90º ECAP die at room temperature following route Bc. Heavy deformation was introduced in the samples after a considerable number of ECAP passes from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, to 16. The principal changes were introduced in the first pass by ECAP but a gradual increment in the mechanical properties was observed for the consecutive ECAP passes. Also, the electrical conductivity decreased with increasing numbers of ECAP passes.

Recent Developments

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 examines recent developments related to the use of ECAP for grain refinement. In the current study the part of capsules wrapper for powder material to be compressed where the powder AA6061 was wrapped in copper sheet and heated at a temperature of 400 OC in hot pressed under the pressure of 400 MPa. Afterward the powder in solid condition was cooled in the air and then does analysis characterization. The sample results of AA6061 are ECAP as is and heat treatment with type Anneal and Artificial Aging (T6) where heat treatment is heated at a temperature of 530 °C for 1 h followed by heating at a temperature of 100 °C for one day and the other for heating at a temperature of 415°C for 2.5 hours followed by heating at a temperature of 177 °C for 8 hours. This paper explains the characteristics of each sample where analyses are based on the mechanism of properties to determine how much change of mechanical properties and microstructure. Heat treatment effect on grain coarsening so that the mechanical properties can be engineered.

Mechanical properties usually take precedence for wrought magnesium alloy when it would be used as a structure material. This paper proposed an approach that achieved high strength in AZ91 Mg alloy. The main procedure combined solution heat treatment, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), and the subsequent low temperature rolling. After solution heat treatment and ECAP, the alloy had fine grains and excellent ductility, which benefited the following rolling at low temperature. By the following rolling (at 150 °C), the strength was further increased to ~432 MPa with a moderate ductility. This approach was proved effective in refining the grains and accumulating dislocations. The ultrahigh strength was attributed to the high density of dislocations and fine structure. The uniformly distributed fine precipitates also supplied precipitate hardening. Recrystallization that happened during rolling and annealing was the main reason for the moderate ductility.
