Computer Simulation of Equal-Channel Angular Pressing of Tungsten by Means of the Finite Element Method
Summary
Recent investigations successfully demonstrated great potential of the severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique, conducted by means of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), to form bulk nanostructured states in different metals and alloys. However, practical application of ECAP seems to be a difficult task due to the fact, that its performance is a many-factor process [1].
