Among several severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods, the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) process is one of the most popular. This process's main characteristic is producing materials with ultra-fine or nanometric grains. Due to these microstructural changes, it is possible to improve mechanical properties such as strength and ductility. In this perspective, the aim of the present work was to evaluate the variations of the mechanical hardness property associated with microstructural and textural changes of pure copper as a function of its processing by SPD via ECAP. For this, the material was submitted to four passes through routes A (the sample is repetitively pressed without any rotation between each pass) and Bc (the sample is rotated in the same sense by 90° between each pass) at cold and warm temperatures. Through the obtained result, it was verified that the ambient temperature of the Bc route was the one that promoted greater homogeneity in the microstructure and weakening of the texture after the fourth pass. On the other hand, warm processing of copper by ECAP promoted a softening of the samples and a homogeneous distribution of hardness in both routes.

Small additions of Sc and Zr may considerably improve both strength and ductility of 7000 series aluminum alloys, which is associated with precipitation of fine coherent Al3(Sc,Zr) particles. These particles also increase resistance to recrystallization and promote formation of a stable refined microstructure. Because of very low equilibrium solubility of Sc and Zr in Al alloys, a supersaturated solid solution of these elements in the Al matrix presented after casting is responsible for precipitation of the Al3(Sc,Zr) particles during subsequent heat treatment, while the strengthening effect depends on the particle size and number density. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize precipitation of the Al3(Sc,Zr) particles, in order to achieve superior balance of mechanical properties. In the present work, the effect of heat treatment conditions on microstructure and tensile properties of a developmental 7000 series Al alloy SSA018 modified with Sc and Zr was studied, with special emphasis on the analysis of size and number density of the Al3(Sc,Zr) particles, and their effect on the strength increase.
