Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical properties of the deformed materials obtained by equal channel angular pressing are strongly dependent on the amount of induced strain and strain homogeneity developed during history of the process. In this work, a new route for equal channel angular pressing process was proposed and investigated by finite element method. This new route consists of a combination of Routes BC and C by alternating rotations through 90° and 180° after every pass. In other words, the billet is rotated 180° after the first and the third passes around its longitudinal axis like Route C and after the second pass is rotated 90° around its longitudinal axis like Route BC. In comparison with other routes, it was shown that the strain homogeneity achieved by this proposed route is better than other conventional routes. The finite element method results for Route BC were validated by available experimental data, which can support finite element method results for the new proposed route.
