Abstract
It was investigated the effect of die channel angles and their combination on plastic deformation of pure copper during ECAP under friction and frictionless conditions using 2-D elastic-plastic finite element modelling. A sound knowledge obtained for the plastic deformation (material flow) and understood the relationships between plastic deformations. The modelling results suggested that strain inhomogeneity was lesser in channel angle 120o than channel angle 90o and pressing load as well as strain decrease with increasing die channel angle. The friction influence in case of combination of channel angles was negligible as compare to individual channel angles. The strain generation and distribution was more uniform in case of combination of channel angles as compare to individual channel angles.
