Abstract

The plastic deformation of as-ECAP Al was investigated by using an indentation technique. The indentation load was found to be proportional to the 3/2 power of the maximum indentation depth. The as-ECAP Al displayed different unloading behavior from the annealed Al due to the large plastic deformation introduced in the ECAP process, which suggests the change in the microstructure. A relation between the plastic energy dissipated in the indentation and the indentation load was derived by using dislocation theory - the plastic energy is proportional to the 3/2 power of the indentation load, which was supported by the experimental results.
