Beschreibung:
In the present study the microstructure evolution of the aluminum alloy 3103 subjected toECAP up to eight passes applying route Bc was investigated after deformation and subsequentisothermal annealing. The deformed and annealed states were analyzed by SEM, EBSD, opticalmicroscopy and microhardness tests. It will be demonstrated that this ECAP deformed materialshows an increased stability against discontinuous recrystallization with growing number of passes.
