Abstract

Equal channel angular pressing is recognized as the predominant method for bulk severe plastic deformation processing and has been employed for refining the grain structure in numerous metals and alloys. This study utilized finite element analysis to examine the processing of metallic billets through simple shear deformation. For the study, the die channel angle was chosen based on achieving the minimum energy consumption to induce maximum uniform strain. Among the favored channel options, it was deemed appropriate. The investigation also examined the maximum load needed to carry out the operation, as well as the distribution of effective stress and strain. The mathematically calculated equivalent plastic strain closely matched the value obtained through finite element analysis. In the process, the die channel angle and friction conditions play a pivotal role in inducing maximum strain in the work material, a fact confirmed by the numerical analysis conducted in this study. Furthermore, these two parameters not only affect the maximum load needed to carry out the operation but also have a minimal impact on the ram rate within the examined range. The study highlights that AA5053 undergoes significant grain-refinement due to the high imposed shear strains accumulated during successive passes. Numerical results indicate that optimized channel angles and processing routes lead to improved deformation uniformity and enhanced mechanical performance. This investigation provides valuable insights into the deformation mechanisms of AA5053 during ECAP and offers a foundation for future experimental validation and optimization of process parameters for lightweight engineering applications.
