Abstract

Equal channel angular pressing has been employed to produce materials with ultra-fine grains that have high strength and high corrosion resistance properties. Along with the experiments, the finite element method has been widely performed to investigate the deformation behavior of specimen and the effects of process parameters of ECAP. In general, several steps of ECAP have been repeatedly executed. In this paper, the effects of sectional shape change have been investigated during ECMAP (RouteA, RouteC) with pure-Zr by using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The results have been compared with the experimental results.
