The texture of 1050 Al sheet produced by equal channel angular pressing
Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is useful method to obtain the ultra-fine grained and the high hardened metal. The microstructure, the hardness, and the texture of the 1050 Al sheets by ECAP are changed by a severe shear deformation. The change of the microstructure, the hardness, and the texture were investigated on the 1050 Al sheets that were prepared by ECAP and annealing.
