Micro-embossing tests were performed on ultrafine-grained pure Al processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) with 100 μm width of female die at different deformation temperature ranging from 298 K to 523 K under a force of 5 kN. The filling height, surface topography and microstructure of the cross section were measured by confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), respectively. The effects of deformation temperature on formability of ultrafine-grained (UFG) pure Al during micro-embossing were analyzed. The results show that increase in deformation temperature can improve the formability of UFG pure Al on micro-embossing. Micro hot embossing of UFG pure aluminum is characterized by the rib sidewall, surface quality, and fully transferred patterns, which shows ultrafine-grained pure Al has potential application in micro-forming.

The effect of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the pitting corrosion of pure Al was investigated using electrochemical techniques in solutions containing 0.1 m mol·dm−3of Na2SO4and 8.46 mol·dm−3of NaCl (300 ppm Cl−) and followed by surface analysis. The potential for pitting corrosion of pure Al was clearly shifted in the noble direction by the ECAP process indicating that this process improves resistance to pitting corrosion. The time dependence of corrosion potential and the anodic potential at 1 A·m−2revealed that the rate of formation of Al oxide films increased due to a decrease in the grain size of the Al after ECAP. Since there exists a negligible amount of impurity precipitates in pure Al, the improvement in pitting corrosion resistance of pure Al by ECAP appears to be attributable to an increase in the rate of formation of Al oxide films.
