摘要
A combination of severe plastic deformation by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and bake hardening (BH) was used to produce high strength ultrafine-grained AA6061 aluminum alloy. 2, 4 and 8 passes of ECAP were performed, and the bake hardenability of samples was tested by 6% pre-straining followed by baking at 200 degrees C for 20 min. The microstructures obtained for various passes of ECAP were characterized by XRD, EBSD, and TEM techniques. The microstructures were refined from an average grain size of 20 mu m to 212 nm after 8 passes of ECAP. Maximum bake hardenability of 110 MPa, and final yield stress of 330 MPa were obtained in the specimens processed by 8 passes of ECAP. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
