A processing technique called Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has been used for many metals and alloys to impose severe plastic deformation, and therefore create extreme dislocation densities. However, the primary purpose of ECAP is not to create high strength by severe work hardening. What is the main reason to perform ECAP processing, and why is the technique particularly attractive for this purpose?

Question

A processing technique called Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has been used for many metals and
alloys to impose severe plastic deformation, and therefore
create extreme dislocation densities. However, the primary
purpose of ECAP is not to create high strength by severe
work hardening. What is the main reason to perform ECAP
processing, and why is the technique particularly attractive
for this purpose?
