Commercially pure copper samples were successfully deformed by parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) up to different passes at room temperature. The effects of the PTCAP number of passes on the microstructure, mechanical properties, microhardness and wear resistance of the processed samples were fully investigate. The microstructure of processed samples were observed by SEM and showed notable decrease in the grain size with increase number of passes. The mechanical properties of the pure copper in each pass were studied by tensile testing and microhardness method at room temperature. In this respect, UTS, σ 0.2% and microhardness have been markedly improved from 199.03, 102.17 MPa and 67.83 HV as the annealed condition to 331.40, 293.51 MPa and 144.03 HV after the forth pass, respectively. Besides, the elongation percent were decreased while, the wear resistance improved with increased number of PTCAP passes. Ductile fracture with extensive necking zone and many big dimples occurs in annealed samples, while fine dimples were decreased with the deformation final passes of PTCAP processed samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
