✦ Synopsis

The main objective of this paper was to characterize the mechanical properties of commercial purity aluminium AA1050 after being submitted to the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process. Compression tests on cylindrical samples extracted from ECAE material are extensively described. The influence of ECAE conditions (number of passes, route, etc.) on the mechanical response is assessed. The extraction of the material behaviour from the experimental results is not straightforward because of inhomogeneities occurring during the test. Therefore, an inverse modelling with the finite element method was used to obtain accurate material parameters by optimization. It appeared that an accurate material yield locus (based on texture analysis) is necessary in order to reproduce the anisotropic behaviour of the ECAE material. On the other hand, its hardening behaviour during compression tests was satisfactorily represented by an elastic (near) perfectly plastic model.

The deformation textures that develop in aluminium during ECAE (without rotation of the billet) have been investigated experimentally and modelled using the FC-Taylor approach, for two different die angles (90 and 120°), by using actual deformation histories measured from scribed marker grids.

When copper is deformed to large strains, as in Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE), its texture and microstructure change drastically and lead to plastic anisotropy upon reloading. In this work, we develop a multi-scale model that accounts for both texture and subgrain microstructural evolution.
