摘要
The processing of age-hardenable aluminum alloys by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated using three different Al-Zn-Mg alloys. The results show that it is relatively easy to conduct the ECAP at an elevated temperature of 473 K, but this leads to a weakening of the alloy rather than a strengthening. The processing by ECAP may be performed successfully at room temperature provided it is conducted fairly quickly (within similar to 10 minutes) after quenching from the solution treatment. It is necessary also to optimize the solution treatment conditions for each alloy composition. Under optimum conditions, good strengthening is achieved even after a single pass in ECAP.
