Microstructural Evolution of a 3003 Based Aluminium Alloy during the CSET Process

Abstract

A new severe plastic deformation technique, known as the complex shearing of extruded tube (CSET), was applied to a 3003 based model aluminium alloy. This technique, consisting of a combination of extrusion and two consecutive Equal Chanel Angular Pressing (ECAP) passes accompanied with concurrent torsional straining, is capable to produce a fine-grained tubular sample directly from a bulk metallic cylinder in one forming operation.
