The formulation of the Hall–Petch relationship in the early 1950s has raised immense interest in studying the influence of the grain size of solid materials on their properties. Grain refinement can be achieved through extreme deformation. In the presented study, Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) was successfully applied to produce an ultrafine-grained microstructure in a pure commercial Cu of 99.9 wt%. Samples were processed by ECAP at 21 °C for six passes via route A. A new equation of equilibrium that allows the exact determination of the number of extrusions and other technological parameters required to achieve the desired final grain size has been developed. The presented research also deals, in a relatively detailed and comparative way, with the use of ultrasound. In this context, a very close correlation between the process functions of extrusion and the speed of longitudinal ultrasonic waves was confirmed.

ABSTRACTPhase mixture models describing the mechanical properties of submicrometer grained metals are presented. In this approach, grain boundaries or cell walls are treated as a separate phase. Two cases are considered: the mechanical response of an ultrafine grained material and the process of grain refinement by equal channel angular pressing. Model predictions with regard to the evolution of the microstructure, strength and texture are verified for Cu.


The absorption of longitudinal ultrasonic waves has been studied as a function of transverse magnetic field in pure single crystals of lead at 1.2 °K. The results were found to be generally consistent with the Fermi surface of lead suggested by Gold. In particular a detailed study of the magneto-acoustic oscillations, as a function of sample orientation and field direction, allowed the determination of some of the dimensions of the hole surface in the second Brillouin zone and revealed a number of new electronic orbits on the multiply-connected surface in the third zone. The absolute magnitude of the attenuation and its dependence on propagation direction and on magnetic field was studied and the results interpreted in terms of the general theory of ultrasonic absorption.

AbstractAttenuation and velocity of longitudinal ultrasonic waves have been measured in a-Se in the vicinity of the glass transition. Both quantities are shown to be affected significantly by the stabilization process below the glass transition temperature Tg. Equilibrium values of sound velocity are also reported for the range 25 °C to 45 °C. The decrease (increase) of attenuation (velocity) during stabilization is reversed at higher temperatures. The connection of both quantities is discussed in terms of an effective temperature which allows the approximate determination of equilibrium values of attenuation (and possibly of other structure related properties) from measurements performed in nonequilibrium states.

Effect of strain energy and grain size on corrosion resistance of ultrafine grained (UFG) Fe-20%Cr steels with extremely low C and N fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated. UFG structures of initial grain size of 144 nm exhibited the typical three-stage softening comprising recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements were carried out with a conventional three-electrode cell to evaluate pitting potential. Pitting potential in 1000 mol·m−3NaCl solution was nobler in UFG state, but pitting potential started to decrease monotonously at lower temperature compared to hardness. The degradation of corrosion resistance in the early stage of annealing is attributed to stability change of passivation by recovery of dislocation structures inside grains and in nonequilibrium grain boundaries. We therefore conclude that nobler potentials of UFG states were realized by not only grain size reduction but also defective deformation-induced UFG.

The equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the methods to refine the grain size of metallic materials. This study investigates the effect of ECAP process on the formation of the fine grain size in oxygen free Cu and Cu alloys. The average grain size has been refined from 150 µm before ECAP to 300 nm. Microstructure was analyzed by transmission electron micrography (TEM). The diffraction pattern of the selected area confirmed the formation of ultrafine-grained structure with high angle grain boundaries after 8 cycles of ECAP. Mechanical properties such as microhardness and tensile properties of the ultra-fine grained copper materials have been investigated.

This paper reports on the microstructures and fatigue properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) AM60 magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at various temperatures. After ECAP processing, samples exhibited an increase in fatigue endurance limit, which correlates well with a decrease in grain size. In case of lowest ECAP temperature, the mean grain size is as small as 1 2m which leads to an increase in fatigue endurance limit by 70 % in comparison to coarse-grained alloy. The temperature of ECAP not only governs the grain size and misorientation angles of grain boundaries but also the volume fraction of precipitates, thus affecting the probability of twinning and grain growth after fatigue treatment.

This paper studies the effect of combined SPD treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of semi-products out of CP Ti. The combined processing, consisting of equal-channel angular pressing and further thermomechanical treatment, produced ultrafine-grained rods out of Grade 2 CP Ti with a diameter of 6.5 mm and a length of up to 1 m. It was established that the formation of homogeneous ultrafine-grained structure in Ti rod with α-grain size of about 100 nm allowed to enhance yield stress by 200% in comparison with initial annealed state.

AbstractThe strength of structural materials strongly depends on the structure and properties of grain boundaries. Interfaces usually act as barriers to dislocation motion and therefore strengthen materials with decreasing grain size, quantitatively described by the well-known Hall-Petch relation. However, interfaces in nanocrystalline materials are often covered with impurities or second phases, which may influence the mechanical properties. With nanoindentation testing it is now possible to probe the strength of interfaces like grain boundaries directly on a nanometer scale. Therefore this method was used to investigate the properties in the vicinity of grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials with conventional grain size and in ultrafine-grained metals prepared by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), where no impurities are introduced during processing. Measurements on an austenitic steel clearly show a decreasing hardness close to the interface opposite to the general expected behavior of strengthening. In this case segregation effects strongly influence the mechanical properties near the boundaries. The nanoindentation investigations on ultrafine-grained Al and Cu show a strong strain rate sensitivity. Inelastic effects are also found between unloading-loading segments during indentations.

The microstructure evolution and strength properties of a Cu-0.096%Cr-0.057%Zr alloy subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 673 K via route BC to total strains of 1 to 4 were examined. The planar low-angle boundaries with moderate misorientations form within initial grains during the first ECAP passes. Upon further processing the misorientations of these boundaries progressively increase and the formation of new ultrafine grains occurs as a result of continuous dynamic recrystallization. Partially recrystallized ultrafine grained structure evolves at strains above 4. After straining to 4 the (sub) grain size attains 0.65 μm. The large plastic straining provides significant strengthening. The ultimate tensile strength increases from 190 MPa in the initial state to 420 MPa after 4 ECAP passes. A modified Hall-Petch analysis is applied to investigate the contribution of grain refinement and dislocation density to the overall strengthening.
