Abstract: The equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process is a promising technique for imparting a large plastic deformation to materials without a resultant decrease in cross-sectional area. In the present study, the suitability of this technique for the processing of tubular specimens has been investigated. Commercially pure aluminum was selected for the study. Tubular specimens were extruded to three passes using four processing routes through an ECAP die with an angle of 150 between the two intersecting channels. Sand was used as a mandrel during the pressing. Analysis of force-stroke diagram was carried out. The mechanical properties were also investigated. Improvement in mechanical properties was observed in all the routes. These investigations demonstrate that ECAP is a promising technique for improving properties of tubular materials while ensuring retention of shape (with the possibility of imparting further deformation to the specimen using the same die) and with low pressing pressures.
