The present contribution is aimed at investigating the microstructure evolution of commercially pure silver under severe plastic deformation conditions. ECAP billets have been produced by using a die with channels intersecting at 90° and straining the samples at room temperature. The evolution of the microstructure as a function of imparted strain was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy as well as X-ray diffractometry. Furthermore, tensile properties were measured from ECAP billets in order to evaluate the strengthening and work hardening behaviour of silver as a function of structure evolution. Comparison in terms of grain structure and corresponding properties are also drawn by considering published data about Al-Mg-Si alloy samples ECAP-processed by identical routes and parameters.

Abstract

The present contribution is aimed at investigating the microstructure evolution of commercially pure silver under severe plastic deformation conditions. ECAP billets have been produced by using a die with channels intersecting at 90° and straining the samples at room temperature. The evolution of the microstructure as a function of imparted strain was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy as well as X-ray diffractometry. Furthermore, tensile properties were measured from ECAP billets in order to evaluate the strengthening and work hardening behaviour of silver as a function of structure evolution. Comparison in terms of grain structure and corresponding properties are also drawn by considering published data about Al-Mg-Si alloy samples ECAP-processed by identical routes and parameters.
