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.Cu-Ti alloyFractographyGrain refinementMechanical propertiesMicrostructureMulti axial forging
