Abstract

High pressure torsion (HPT) and equal channel angular pressing in parallel channels (ECAP-PC) at room temperature are used to form homogeneous ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure with a grain size of the aluminum matrix of 350 and 700 nm, respectively, in Al-30Zn (wt. %) specimens. The UFG samples with special geometry produced from the specimens processed by SPD techniques were subjected to sphere-shaped dimple extrusion testing (via the Erikson test method) and bended plate extrusion to determine the material formability during cold sheet metal forming. The same tests were performed on the material with coarse-grained (CG) structure for the sake of comparison. The obtained results are discussed.
