    Microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2017) Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.
    Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) with different passes was carried out for Mg-Al-Mn (AM) series magnesium alloy to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties. ECAP process was carried up to 4 passes using route BC, where the samples are rotated by 90° in the same direction between consecutive passes. Microstructures were studied using optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and it was observed that the grain size was reduced from 100 μm to 1 μm after 4 passes. Tensile test was conducted and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increased up to 2 passes but decreased with higher passes, even though grain size became finer with increase in ECAP passes. Microhardness was carried out and it was observed that the hardness was increased up to 2 passes of ECAP and decreased with higher passes. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

    Influence of Multi Axial Forging (MAF) on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu-Ti Alloy
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Gopi, K.R.
    Multi axial forging (MAF) is one among the severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes, where large strains are imposed into the component. In the present work, as-received Cu-1.5%Ti alloy was subjected to MAF for 2 and 4 cycles at room temperature. Microstructure showed grain refinement after 2 and 4 cycles. Average grain size obtained for MAF processed samples after 2 and 4 cycles are 120 μm and 40 μm, respectively compared to initial grain size of 800 μm. The Mechanical properties were analyzed for as-received and MAF processed samples. Tensile test showed increased ultimate tensile strength (493 MPa) for MAF 4-cycle sample compared to as-received (191 MPa) condition with accumulated strain of 2.18 for 4 cycles. Increase in hardness was observed for MAF processed sample of 143 Hv for 4-cycle compared to as-received sample of 67 Hv. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
