On the Effect of Natural Aging Prior to Low Temperature ECAP of a High-Strength Aluminum Alloy
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can be used to generate ultra-fine grained microstructures and thus to increase the strength of many materials. Unfortunately, high strength aluminum alloys are generally hard to deform, which puts severe limits on the feasibility of conventional SPD methods. In this...
