Effects of ECAP with One Pass Severe Deformation on Microhardness, Texture, and Corrosion Behavior of AA1370 Aluminum Alloy Wire

In this paper, We investigate the effects of one pass severe deformation, obtained by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process, using dies with channel angles of 90° and 120°, on hardness, texture, and corrosion behavior, of AA1370 aluminum alloy wire. A severe deformation, by ECAP process, leads to athinning of several diffraction peaks and an increase of their angular values; modifies the texture of material from pseudo-texture to mix...
