Severe plastic deformation (SPD) results in ultra-fine grain sizes in metals and alloys. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the special SPD methods aiming to introduce high plastic strains into the bulk materials without changing their cross section. ECAP results in improvement in hardness and strength while still satisfying acceptable ductility level. The combined effects of ECAP and subsequent heat treatments, i.e. post-aging and post-annealing, on the microstructure and hardness of the 2024 aluminum alloy were investigated. An ECAP die with 120˚ channel angle was constructed. Subgrain formation, increase in dislocation density and dislocation tangling were observed after ECAP, and subgrain growth was detected after post annealing. The specimens revealed higher hardness values after ECAP at room temperature, and further increase in hardness was observed following post-aging at 80˚C, 100˚C and 190˚C. Effect of the aging temperature on the deformed specimens was investigated, and the aging behaviors of the severely deformed and undeformed samples at 190˚C were compared.

Effect of ECAP and post-aging processes on 2024 aluminum alloy
Saraloglu, Ebru; Tan, Evren; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2008-01-01)
Strength of aluminum alloys can be remarkably improved by obtaining ultrafine grain size via severe plastic deformation. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is considered to be a good candidate that is capable to produce bulk components. In this study, the combined effects of ECAP and post-aging treatment on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys were investigated. An ECAP die with 120 degrees channel angle was used for severe plastic deformation of 2024 Al-alloy. The ECAPed specimens revealed highe...
Characterization of ultra-fine grained steel samples produced by high pressure torsion via magnetic barkhausen noise analysis
Bayramoğlu, Sadık; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
High Pressure Torsion (HPT) is one of the most widely used severe plastic deformation methods which enable to obtain a crack free ultra-fine grained bulk material with improved mechanical properties like increased strength and toughness. In the process, a disc shaped sample is pressed between two anvils and deformed via surface friction forces by rotating one of the anvils. The aim of this study is to nondestructively characterize the variations in the deformation uniformity of the severely deformed steel d...
Production and characterization of alumina fiber reinforced squeeze cast aluminum alloy matrix composites
Keleş, Özgür; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different levels of Saffil alumina fiber addition, magnesium content in aluminum alloy matrix and casting temperature on the mechanical behavior, microstructure and physical properties of short fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. The main alloying element silicon was kept constant at 10 wt%. Magnesium contents were selected as 0.3 wt% and 1 wt%. Saffil alumina fiber preforms varied from 10 to 30 vol%. The casting temperatures were fixed...
Production of coal crusher hammer heads by bi-metal casting
Kırma, Turgut; Selçuk, Ekrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
In this study, by considering different mechanical properties such as wear resistance and toughness of two different metal alloys in design and production stages, bi-metal casting technique was used for producing composite material which will be a solution for the cracking and wear problem in coal crushing hammer heads. The failure analysis of the classical hammer heads which are made from Hadfield steels (austenitic steel) showed that there are crack formations through austenitic grains and also the phase ...
Investigation of the effect of dissimilar channel angular pressing method to the mechanical and microstuctural properties of 6061 aluminum alloy sheets
Kibar, Alp Aykut; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010)
Dissimilar Channel Angular Pressing (DCAP) method is an effective Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) technique to improve the mechanical properties of sheets or strips by producing ultrafine grains. The aim of this study is to investigate the evolution of the microstructure and the improvement in mechanical properties of 6061 Al-alloy strips deformed by DCAP up to 5 passes. Mechanical properties such as hardness and strength have been observed to increase up to a certain strain level depending on the microstr...
