Abstract

In the present work technically pure iron was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) which brought about significant refinement of microstructure. Characteristic inhomogeneous, banded structure was observed in micro- and macro-scale. Hardness investigations at macro-, micro- and nanometrical level and tensile tests of micro-samples were carried out. The fracture surface observations show that failure mode depends on microstructure banding. Plastic strain localization in tensile micro-samples was observed via multiple-twin beam reticular interferometry method. Plastic behaviour of the material has also been modelled by Finite Element Method (FEM).
