Equal channel angular extrusion method (ECAE) was used to deform AlCu alloys in the range of true strains ε = 1.15 – 2.3. Samples for investigation were produced from extruded bars, conventionally manufactured and from a consolidated powder ingot. The influence of the strain on the structure was studied by using light microscopy and TEM and on properties by hardness measurement. Increased strain caused structural refinement of structure and increased hardness. The structure revealed the presence of the mutually crossing microbands, visible against the background of a high density of dislocations. After annealing, nearly equiaxed grains were formed. The material prepared by powder consolidation possessed greater hardness. The results revealed differences in structure and properties of nominally the same alloy, but processed differently, when subjected to deformation by ECAE

Aluminium alloys are of particular interest because of their low density, low cost and ease of thermo-mechanical processing. During the recent years, much interest has been shown in the development of alloys with optimal mechanical properties which can be retained at high temperatures. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the microstructure of two Al-Mg-Si alloys containing transition elements after cold deformation 10%, 20 %, 30%, 40% and 50% reduction in thickness and annealing at 1 hour at different temperature by using the optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), Vickers hardness measurement. We notice that the micro-hardness increases with the increasing of the deformation level. The coarse particles, with a particle size of about 2 to 3 µm, give rise to a heavily local deformation of the Aluminium matrix. The formation of well-defined substructure due to the arrangement of dislocations is observed after an increase in annealing temperature.
