ECAP for Ultra Fine Grain Aluminum

ECAP is a novel technique that produces ultra fine grain structures in the submicron level through large shear strains without changing the billet shape or dimensions. This process is well suited for aluminum alloys and is capable of producing ultra fine grain structures between 200 to 500 nm by introducing shear strain through punching the billet between two dies with an angle between them. Preliminary studies have been carried out on ECAP.
