Abstract
Abstract: The theoretical calculation of dislocation density in different regions of a deformed
workpiece of 99.99% pure copper has been carried out using different procedures consisting of
Finite Element Method (FEM) and hardness measurement. To assess the validity of the results
pertaining to these procedures, the dislocation density is experimentally measured utilizing the
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Comparing the predicted and experimental results, it
was found that the average error in prediction of the dislocation density by the hardness
measurement and FEM is 12% and 2.5%, respectively. Also, for further confirmation of the
evaluated dislocation density of each region of the deformed workpiece, the annealing process was
carried out and in the region of higher dislocation density, a finer grain size was observed.

Abstract
Abstract: Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is a promising technique for production of ultra fine-grain (UFG) materials of few hundred nanometers size. In this research, the grain refinement of aluminium strip is accelerated by sandwiching it between two copper strips and then subjecting the three strips to ECAE process simultaneously. The loosely packed copper-aluminium-copper laminated billet was passed through ECAE die up to 8 passes using the Bc route. Then, tensile properties and some microstructural characteristics of the aluminium layer were evaluated. The scanning and transmission electron microscopes, and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the microstructure. The results show that the yield stress of middle layer (Al) is increased significantly by about four times after application of ECAE throughout the four consecutive passes and then it is slightly decreased when more ECAE passes are applied. An ultra fine grain within the range of 500 to 600 nm was obtained in the Al layer by increasing the thickness of the copper layers. It was observed that the reduction of grain size in the aluminium layer is nearly 55% more than that of a ECA-extruded single layer aluminium billet, i.e. extruding a single aluminium strip or a billet without any clad for the same amount of deformation. This behaviour was attributed to the higher rates of dislocations interaction and cell formation and texture development during the ECAE of the laminated composite compared to those of a single billet
