Evaluation of hardening and softening behaviors in Znâ21Alâ2Cu alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing

The microstructural evolution of as-cast and homogenized Znâ21Alâ2Cu samples after two and six passes in an equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature was reported. A homogenization treatment for 24 h at 350 °C was applied to the as-cast samples followed by deformation. An annealin...
