Abstract: Despite intensive research efforts in precipitation-strengthened alloys processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), so far only a few investigations have been conducted on their creep behaviour and the results from these studies are controversial. This paper examines these differences and evaluates some factors influencing the creep resistance of the binary Al-0.2%Sc and Cu-0.2% Zr alloys processed by ECAP.
