Single roll drive equal channel angular process (SRD-ECAP) is derived from classical equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). It overcomes the drawbacks of ECAP, which is a discontinuous process and can only process short billets with invariable square or round section. SRD-ECAP, however, can process long billets continuously. In addition, it can also process sheet or strip. Another merit is that diameter or thickness of billets processed is adjustable. The structure of SRD-ECAP is quite simple and easy to be realized. In this paper, stress analysis has also been carried out. It is believed that SRD-ECAP can be a potential severe plastic deformation (SPD) process for Industrial Application.

Severe plastic deformation is an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of metallic alloys through promoting the grain structure. In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation behavior of the material during the cyclic extrusion process using DEFORMTM-3D Ver11.0. The FE-results revealed that SCEC technique was able to impose severe plastic strains with the number of passes. The model was able to predict the damage, punch load, back pressure, and deformation behavior.

В данной статье рассматривается применение и технологии получения наноструктурированных поверхностей. Рассмотрены такие методы как компактирование порошков (изостатическое прессование, метод Гляйтера), интенсивная пластическая деформация (угловое кручение, равноканальное угловое прессование, обработка давлением многослойных композитов) и модификация поверхности (лазерная обработка, ионная бомбардировка). This article discusses the application and technology for obtaining nano-structured surfaces. Methods such as compaction of powders (isostatic pressing, Gleiter method), severe plastic deformation (angular torsion, equal-channel angular pressing, pressure treatment of multilayer composites) and surface modification (laser treatment, ion bombardment) are considered.

The article focuses on the results from recent experimental of severe plastic deformation of low carbon (LC) steel and medium carbon (MC) steel performed at increased temperatures. The grain refinement of ferrite respectively ferrite-pearlite structure is described. While LC steel was deformed by ECAP die (ε = 3) with a channel angle φ = 90° the ECAP severe deformation of MC steel was conducted with die channel angle of 120° (ε = 2.6 - 4). The high straining in LC steel resulted in extensively elongated ferrite grains with dense dislocation network and randomly recovered and polygonized structure was observed. The small period of work hardening appeared at tensile deformation. On the other side, the warm ECAP deformation of MC steel in dependence of increased effective strain resulted in more progressive recovery process. In interior of the elongated ferrite grains the subgrain structure prevails with dislocation network. As straining increases the dynamic polygonization and recrystallization became active to form mixture of polygonized subgrain and submicrocrystalline structure. The straining and moderate ECAP temperature caused the cementite lamellae fragmentation and spheroidzation as number of passes increased. The tensile behaviour of the both steels was characterized by strength increase however the absence of strain hardening was found at low carbon steel. The favourable effect of ferrite-pearlite structure modification due straining was reason for extended work hardening period observed at MC steel.

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has received enormous interest over the last two decades as a method capable of producing fully dense and bulk ultra-fine grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) materials. Significant grain refinement obtained by SPD leads to improvement of mechanical, microstructural and physical properties. Compared to classical deformation processes, the big advantage of SPD manufacturing techniques, represented in particular by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is the lack of shape-change deformation and the consequent possibility to impart extremely large strain. In ECAP processing, the workpiece is pressed through a die in which two channels of equal cross-section intersect at an angle of ϕ and an additional angle of ψ define the arc of curvature at the outer point of intersection of the two channels. As a result of pressing, the sample theoretically deforms by simple shear and retains the same cross-sectional area to allow repeated pressings for several cycles. A commercial AlMgSi alloy was investigated in our study. The specimens were processed at room temperature for multiple passes, using three different ECAP dies. All samples (ECAP processed and as-received) were subjected to metallographic analysis and mechanical testing. Several correlations between the main processing parameters and the resulting microstructural aspect and mechanical features for the processed material were established. It was shown that severe plastic deformation by means of ECAP processing can be used in aluminum alloys microstructural design as an advanced tool for grain refinement in order to attain the desired microstructure and mechanical properties.
