Effects of Inner Corner Angle on Strain Distribution of ECAPed Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultrafine-grained materials have excellent mechanical properties, which include the high strength and toughness. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one kind of severe plastic deformation method to make ultrafine-grained metals. The ECAP processes are simulated by finite element method (FEM) in this work. The effects of inner corner angle on strain distribution during the deformation process are numerically analyzed. The evolutions of effective strain on three points of different deformation are compared. The results show that the deformation becomes severe on each point when the inner corner angle is less than 90o, which is different from the situation when the inner corner angle is equal to or greater than 90o. The results are useful for improving the ECAP process to make the structure of metals homogenous.
