Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a valuable technique for refining grain sizes to the submicrometer or the nanometer range. This study explores the reason for the difference in the grain refining behavior between pure Al and pure Cu. First, very high purity levels were adopted in order to minimize any effects of impurities: 99.999% for Al and 99.99999% for Cu. Second, high purity (99.999%) Au was also used in order to examine the effect of stacking fault energy. All three pure metals were subjected to ECAP and microstructural observations and hardness measurements were undertaken with respect to the number of ECAP passes. It is concluded that the stacking fault energy plays an important role and accounts for the difference in the grain refining behavior in the ECAP process.

The influence of applied strain on the defect production rate during a cascade process was evaluated for several FCC metals with different Stacking Fault Energy by the method of molecular dynamics. It was found that applied strain increases the number of surviving defects, which is caused by the enhanced formation of larger clusters. It was also found that the number of defects is almost independent of Stacking Fault Energy even under applied strain.
