Abstract: | Aluminum has been deformed by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) to obtain submicron-grained structures under different
deformation routes. The deformation routes were varied by rotating billets through 0, 90, and 180 deg between each extrusion
pass, and were designated as route A, BC, and C, respectively. Based on quantitative microstructural analysis, the effectiveness of the deformation route is shown
to depend upon the different definition used. The order of effectiveness is (a) A > BC > C for both 90 and 120 deg dies, in terms of the generation of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs); (b) BC > C > A for both 90 and 120 deg dies, in terms of the formation of equiaxed shape of grains; and (c) BC > A > C for 90 deg die and BC ∼ A > C for 120 die, in terms of reducing grain size. It is suggested that the generation of HAGBs can be related to the
accumulation of nonredundant strain, while the shape and orientation of grains may be linked to the shearing patterns of the
deformation route. |
