Abstract

Most unique technique for producing ultra-fine grain is severe plastic deformation (SPD). Sample can be deformed multiple times without any change in its original dimensions by using a unique technique i.e. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) Technique. In the present work, a die having special features is designed. Sample of Aluminum Alloy 6061 is deformed by using a plunger. The change in the mechanical properties and microstructure of the deformed sample can be observed by using characterization techniques like Vickers hardness and optical microstructure. The deformed sample is found unique in properties as compare to the parent material. The sample may be useful in the field of automobile and defense industry.
