Investigation of the Effects of Equal Channel Angular Extrusion on Copper C10100
Abstract
Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) is an innovative process which utilizes plastic deformation to produce materials with unique properties. The process can be applied multiple times to obtain very high levels of deformation without changing the cross-sectional area of the billet. The orientation of the billet can also be varied to change the microstructure of the material. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of ECAE on copper 10100 with particular interest in increasing the room temperature strength of the copper without increasing the resistivity. Preliminary findings based on the microstructure and hardness data indicates that ECAE has the potential to yield such a material.
