Development of Nanostructured AA3103 by Equal Channel Angular Pressing and Thermal Treatments

This work presents a study related to the achievement of a nanometric structure in AA3103, employing severe plastic deformation processes (SPD), in this case equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The changes in the mechanical properties and in the microstructure of AA3103 were studied after being p...
