Hardness inhomogeneity and local strengthening mechanisms of an Al1050 aluminium alloy after 1 pass of equal channel angular pressing

Samples of an Al1050 aluminum alloy (99.5% Al) were subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature for 1 pass. The microhardness is highest at the centre of the cross section of the billet, and the grain size is smallest at the edges, which rules out grain size strengthening...
