“…In the past decade, the research focused on to strengthen Al alloys without any ageing treatment, via SPD (Kvačkaj et al, 2010 b). The finite element method (FEM) is a proven and reliable technique for analyzing various forming processes (Kvačkaj et al, 2007); (Kočiško et al, 2009); (Li et al, 2004); (Leo et al, 2007); (Cerri et al, 2009), (Figueiredo et al, 2006); (Mahallawy et al, 2010); (Yoon & Kim, 2008), in order to analyze the global and local deformation response of the workpiece with 4 nonlinear conditions of boundary, loading and material properties, to compare the effects of various parameters, and to search for optimum process conditions for a given material (Kim, 2001). The unique mechanical properties of the ECAPed material are directly affected by plastic deformation.…”
