In
this study, the hardness and electrical resistivity of Al5083 alloy were
investigated after equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and annealing
processes. The effects of the annealing and ECAP processes on the properties of
the alloy were investigated, and the results of the processes were compared
with each other. The major reason for the different results between the two
processes was changes in the microstructure, which were observed by optical
microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that, ECAP decrease
the grain size, in parallel with it increase the hardness and electrical
resistivity of material.
