Investigating the Effects of Severe Plastic Deformation on Aluminium Alloy Properties: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Equal channel angular pressing is a metal forming process. It serves as a strengthening treatment through which ductile metals can be processed to refine their grain and subgrain structure. This process improves the mechanical performance of metals, including tensile strength, stress-controlled fatigue strength, and resistance to fatigue crack propagation. Equal channel angular pressing is one of the severe plastic deformation methods employed to produce ultrafine-grained materials. In this method, a …
