Frictional Effect during Equal Channel Angular Pressing(ECAP) with Pure-Zr

Pure-Zr의 ECAP공정에서 마찰의 영향

Much research efforts have been made on the structure and properties of metals deformed to severe plastic deformation (SPD). Being deformed to SPD, ultra-fine grains (UFG) are usually formed, and UFG structure exhibits fundamental differences in original physical properties. One method often used to obtain SPD is equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In order for this technique to be exploited, it is important to understand the deformation behavior during the ECAP processing with respect to friction. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to investigate this issue.
