Abstract

Ultra-fine grained and high hardened Al sheet was obtained by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP). During this process the microstructure, the hardness and the texture of AA 1050 Al alloy sheet are changed by a severe shear deformation. The plastic strain ratio after the ECAP and subsequent heat-treatment condition was investigated in this study. It was found that the average r-value of the equal channel angular pressed and subsequent heat-treated specimen was 1.7 times higher than that of the initial Al sheet. This could be attributed to the various texture formations through the ECAP and subsequent heat-treatment of AA 1050 Aluminum alloy sheets.
