Abstract
A lamellar nickel aluminum bronze has been processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and its microstructure investigated. The orientation, spacing, and morphology of the lamellae after ECAP were observed to be dependent on the orientation of the lamellae before ECAP with respect to the shear plane. Two distinct microstructures were produced following a single ECAP pass. The most common type consisted of fragmented lamellae with a reduced lamellar spacing, inclined between >0 deg and <45 deg to the exit channel, and the second type comprised bent lamellae with an increased spacing and were inclined between >45 deg and <180 deg, with exceptions at 0/180 deg and 45 deg. A model describing the evolution of lamellar microstructures subjected to a single ECAP pass has been proposed.
