Effect of aging treatment on mechanical properties of an age-hardenable aluminum alloy after equal channel angular pressing at room temperature has been investigated using hardness, stress–strain behavior and surface fractography. Aluminum alloy 7075 was pressed after solution treatment. Yield stress, ultimate stress and hardness of pressed samples have increased significantly compared with those of coarse grain, but the elongation to failure has decreased. Also the pressed specimens were subjected to aging treatment at room temperature and temperatures of 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C to obtain the optimized strength and ductility. The results indicated that post–equal channel angular pressing aging at 80 °C has resulted in the maximum strength, and natural aging has resulted in good ductility and acceptable strength. It confirmed the fact that there is a potential in obtaining high strength and good ductility in age-hardenable alloys employing severe plastic deformation and subsequent aging.

Severe plastic deformation is one of the emerging and promising techniques applied to bulk materials to produce fine grain structure with attractive properties. This study aims to investigate the effect of extrusion parameters like extrusion temperature, number of passes on the equal channel angular pressing and twist extrusion forming behavior of AA7075-T6 Aluminum alloy by hot extrusion process. AA7075-T6 samples of 70x28x18 mm cross sections extruded by equal channel angular pressing and twist extrusion process was subjected to microstructure analysis, hardness and tensile tests in order to determine their mechanical properties. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that twist extrusion leads to more grain refinement at high temperatures with more number of passes compared to equal channel angular pressing. SEM micrographs show that there is severe orientation of the grains facilitated by the extrusion process which enhances the strength. The dense banding of the grains had effected in marginal hardness enhancement in the matrix of the specimens processed by twist extrusion and equal channel angular extrusion process.

Analysis of the results of the microstructure and the mechanical properties change in AA1050 aluminum alloy of technical purity processed using ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing) and KoBo deformation methods are presented in the paper.. ECAP process was performed according to Bc scheme in the range from 1 up to 10 passes. Changes of microstructure were analyzed using scanning electrone microscope equipped with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) system. Microstructure and fraction of high-angle grain boundaries in KoBo processed samples were similar to those observed in ECAP processed samples after four passes. The most significant microstructure refinement was observed in ECAP processed sample submitted to 10 passes. In ECAP method the systematic increase of mechanical properties was observed along with increase of deformation degree.
