“…Physical simulation techniques using plasticine workpiece models are often used in material forming practice (Chijiwa et al, 1981;Han et al, 2008;Laptev et al, 2014;Perig et al, 2010Perig et al, , 2013aPerig et al, , b, 2015Perig and Laptev, 2014;Perig and Golodenko, 2014a, b;Perig, 2014;Sofuoglu and Rasty, 2000;Wu and Baker, 1997). In order to estimate the character of viscous flow during ECAP through a 2θ acute-angled angular die of Segal geometry ABC-abc under the action of a classical rectangular punch and a novel modified 2θ 0 -inclined or 2θ 0 -beveled punch shapes we have utilized physical simulation techniques in Figs The main experimental visualization technique in Figs.…”
