Abstract

Recently, severe plastic deformation processes have been the essence of metal forming researches to produce ultrafine-grained materials. Twist Extrusion is one of the most unprecedented methods developed in recent years, but has some deficiencies. The main one is the microstructure and mechanical heterogeneity, occurring after twist extrusion. Performing rolling as a conventional forming technique was suggested as a solution in this paper. It not only decreased the grain size, but also reduced the mechanical heterogeneity, and improved the grain size distribution. Employing the twist extrusion process on pure copper samples was carried out using a twisted die with 60° die angle, and the samples were processed through rolling subsequently. The results demonstrated that employing the rolling process enhanced grain size homogeneity and bulk strength.
